In the example shown, the formula in F6 is: We take advantage of this by using the ISNA function to test for any #N/A errors. After ISNA, we have: We use the double negative (double unary) operator to convert TRUE FALSE values to ones and zeros, which gives us this: SUMPRODUCT then sums the elements in the array, and the result is compared to zero for force a TRUE or FALSE result....
When rows or columns are added or removed from either table, the formula will continue to return correct results. In addition, the formula will work even if the tables are located on different sheets in a workbook. Alternative syntax with Total row It is also possible to reference the total row in a table directly, as long as tables have the Total Row enabled. The syntax looks like this: Translated: “The value for Amount in the Total row of Table1”....
Where D5 contains a year, and holidays is the named range E5:E14. Note: NETWORKDAYS includes both the start and end dates in the calculation if they are workdays. The DATE function returns these dates directly to the NETWORKDAYS function as start_date and end_date, respectively. Holidays are supplied as a list of dates in E5:E14, the named range holidays. NETWORKDAYS automatically excludes weekends (Staturday and Sunday) and dates supplied as holidays and returns a total count of working days in the year 2019....
Where data is the named range B5:B104. The result is the two-column table in E5:F14, with values sorted in descending order by count. Get unique values The first step in this problem is to get a list of unique colors from the data. This is easy to do with the UNIQUE function: Since there 23 unique colors in B5:B104, UNIQUE returns an array containing 23 color names: Count unique values Now that we have a list of values, the next step is to get a count for each unique value....
which calculates the area of a circle with the radius given in column B. The Greek letter π (“pi”) represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. In Excel, π is represented in a formula with the PI function, which returns the number 3.14159265358979, accurate to 15 digits: To square a number in Excel, you can use the exponentiation operator (^): Or, you can use the POWER function: Rewriting the formula =πr2 as an Excel formula to for the example, we get: Or: The result is the same for both formulas....
where “price” (C5:C15) and “group” (D5:D15) are named ranges. Which is equivalent to the expression: which means not equal to an empty string, e.g. not empty. Excluding formulas The formula above will not exclude empty strings returned by formulas (=""). If you have empty strings returned by formulas in the criteria range, you can adjust the criteria like this: This will correctly exclude empty string returned by formulas.

where H5 contains the calculated standard deviation of B5:F5. The result is formatted with the percentage number format. In this contrived example, standard deviation is calculated in column H with the STDEV.P function: Notice that the standard deviation is the same for all data series (1.414214) even though the means vary substantially. To calculate the coefficient of variation (CV), the formula in I5 is: This formula picks divides the standard deviation in H5 by the mean of B5:F5, calculated with the AVERAGE function....
The result is 5, since 7 out of 12 items have been sold. You can also use the COUNTIF function to solve this problem. Both approaches are described below. COUNTA function The COUNTA function counts non-blank cells in a range. Unlike the COUNT function, which only counts numeric values, COUNTA will count any value in a cell, including numbers and text. The first formula in F5 counts the total items available: The result is 12 since there are 12 values in the ID column....
Where data is the named range C5:C16. The result is 4, since there are 4 visible rows where the Region is “West”. Overview At the core, this formula works by setting up two arrays inside SUMPRODUCT. The first array applies criteria, and the second array handles visibility: The formula in H7 takes this approach: Criteria The criteria is applied with this part of the formula: Because there are 12 values in data (C5:C16) this expression generates an array with 12 TRUE and FALSE results like this: The TRUE values in this array indicate cells in data that contain “West”....
Key advantages to Excel Tables Compared to manually formatted tables, Excel Tables have several key advantages: Structured data - data appears in rows and columns without spaces. This makes it easy to work with the data like a database. Automatic formulas - new rows “inherit” existing formulas, and changes to an existing formula automatically propagates throughout a column. Filters - although filters can be applied to any normal table, they are automatically available in an Excel Table....

Examples LEN returns the count of characters in a text string: Space characters are included in the count: LEN also works with numeric values, but number formatting is not included: The LEN function often appears in other formulas that manipulate text in some way. For example, it can be used with the RIGHT and FIND functions to extract text to the right of a given character: FIND returns the position of the character, which is subtracted from length, calculated with LEN....
The LINEST function returns more than one value at a time in an array. In its most basic form, LINEST returns just intercept and slope. Optionally, LINEST can also return 10 separate statistics for the regression analysis as shown in the worksheet above. In Excel 365, which supports dynamic arrays, the array of values will spill into cells in the worksheet automatically. In other versions of Excel, you must enter the LINEST as a multi-cell array formula to see all values....
The MAP function is useful when you want to process each item in an array individually but as an array operation that yields an array result. MAP is also useful when the formula logic is complex and would be best managed in a single location. Using a named LAMBDA function with MAP is possible to reuse the same code elsewhere. The MAP function takes two required arguments: array1 and lambda....
In the example, the formula in F6 is: where “sales” is the named range C4:C10. Other examples of formulas that use this same named range are: Note: named ranges are absolute references by default.

In general, Excel shortcuts on the Mac are more similar than different from Windows shortcuts. But it may not feel that way, especially if you come from a Windows background. Here are the 5 key differences you need to be aware of. First, many shortcut keys on the Mac are often abbreviated as symbols. Here’s a list of those symbols and the keys they represent. On a Mac, you’ll see these symbols in menus across all applications, so they’re not specific to Excel....
