    Formula symbols and characters

    Is there a site, list, or cheat sheet somewhere that shows all symbols and what they do in a formula? I've used the basics in the past, but when assisted by this forum, I see different symbols used in replies. For example, ^ and %. I use the formulas, but have to think about exactly what they're doing in order to use them elsewhere. I know they're shortcuts, but would be nice to be able to see how they work or what they replace.

    Thanks in advance!
