In this article, we will discuss the process of using Excel Mac Version 16.95.1 (25031528) to create a backtest sheet and a report sheet. We will focus on a specific formula used in the backtest sheet, =COUNT(backtest-3!:), which is a simple count function.
Understanding the Backtest Sheet
The backtest sheet, named "backtest-3", is where we perform our backtesting calculations. In this example, we are using the COUNT function, which returns the number of cells containing numeric values in a range.
The COUNT Function
The COUNT function in Excel is used to count the number of cells containing numbers in a range. In our case, we are using it to count the number of cells containing values in the entire column (backtest-3!:).
Here is the formula we are using:
=COUNT(backtest-3!:)
The Report Sheet
The report sheet, named "report-3", is where we present the results of our backtesting calculations. In this example, the result of the COUNT function from the backtest sheet will be displayed here.
