To calculate the range in Excel, use the formula `=MAX(cell_range) - MIN(cell_range)`. This will give you the difference between the largest and smallest values in your selected array. For example, if your data is in cells A1 to A10, the formula would be `=MAX(A1:A10) - MIN(A1:A10)`.**

FAQs & Answers

  1. What formula calculates the range in Excel? The range can be calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value using =MAX(cell_range) - MIN(cell_range).
