Overview:
Excel has over 450 functions - a potent set of power tools that simplifies certain kinds of formulas and gives you a huge number of computational possibilities. Many Excel functions provide extended analytical capabilities and open the door to more efficient use of Excel.
This session gives you perspective on what functions are available and explains (with extensive examples) how to use many of them, including the IF function (with AND and OR), the powerful lookup functions -VLOOKUP, MATCH, and their important and more robust replacements - XLOOKUP and XMATCH. Examples of selected Date, Statistical, Financial, Mathematical, and TEXT functions will also be presented, as well as some of the new dynamic array functions - UNIQUE, SORT, and FILTER.
Areas Covered in the Session:
- Learn how to look up information in tables and reconcile different lists using VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP functions; for specialized lookup needs, learn to use the XMATCH and INDEX functions
- Learn how to use selected Text functions to extract and manipulate character and numerical data for sorting and analytical purposes
- Learn how to build 3-D formulas to tabulate data totals from multiple worksheets
- Learn how to harness the power gained from using multiple functions in a nested fashion
- Learn how and when to use the capabilities of the COUNTIF family of functions and newer functions -AGGREGATE, ARABIC, ISFORMULA, and FORMULATEXT
- Learn how to use the powerful IF function and the related AND and OR functions for programming-like capability
- Learn how the latest Excel upgrades include the powerful UNIQUE, SORT, and FILTER functions and how newer formula-handling capabilities make Excel even more powerful than before
Who Will Benefit:
- Any Excel user who needs to go beyond the basics of using formulas or simply wants to become more comfortable and productive in using Excel formulas and functions
