• MONTH(date): Returns the month from a date.
• YEAR(date): Returns the year from a date.
• WEEKDAY(date, [type]): Returns the day of the week as a number.

4. Logical Functions

• IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false): Returns one value if the condition is true and another value if it’s false.
• AND(condition1, condition2, …): Returns TRUE if all conditions are true.
• OR(condition1, condition2, …): Returns TRUE if at least one condition is true.
• NOT(condition): Reverses the value of a logical expression.

5. Lookup Functions

• VLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted]): Searches for a value in the first column of a range and returns a value in the same row from a specified column.
• HLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted]): Searches for a value in the first row of a range and returns a value in the same column from a specified row.
• INDEX(reference, row_num, [column_num]): Returns the value of a cell in a specified row and column within a range.
• MATCH(search_key, range, [match_type]): Returns the relative position of a specified value in a range.
• FILTER(range, condition1, [condition2, …]): Filters a range based on specified conditions.

6. Array Functions

• ARRAYFORMULA(array_formula): Enables the use of array formulas to process multiple rows and columns at once.
• TRANSPOSE(array): Transposes the orientation of a range (converts rows to columns and vice versa).
• SPLIT(string, delimiter): Splits a text string into separate values based on a specified delimiter.

7. Statistical Functions

• STDEV(range): Estimates the standard deviation based on a sample.
• VAR(range): Estimates variance based on a sample.
• CORREL(range1, range2): Calculates the correlation coefficient between two ranges.
• MEDIAN(range): Returns the median of a set of numbers.

8. Financial Functions

• PMT(rate, nper, pv, [fv], [type]): Calculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate.
• NPV(rate, value1, [value2, …]): Calculates the net present value of an investment based on a series of cash flows and a discount rate.
• IRR(cash_flows, [guess]): Calculates the internal rate of return for a series of cash flows.

9. Miscellaneous Functions

• IMPORTRANGE(spreadsheet_url, range_string): Imports a range of cells from a specified spreadsheet.
• GOOGLEFINANCE(ticker, [attribute], [start_date], [end_date], [interval]): Fetches current or historical market data from Google Finance.
• SPARKLINE(data, [options]): Creates a miniature chart within a single cell.
