Excel Parentheses
Learning Objectives:

Excel Parentheses
Parantheses are used to change the order of an operation. Similar to the order of operations, parentheses in Excel will perform the calculation for the numbers inside the parentheses before calculating the rest of the formula.
Nested Parentheses
When using advanced formulas, you may need to nest parentheses. When dealing with nested parentheses, Excel will calculate the numbers inside the parentheses first, layer by layer, starting with the inner layer.
