The result is 7, since there are seven cells in B5:B14 that do not contain error values. COUNTIF function One way to count cells that do not contain errors is to use the COUNTIF function like this: For criteria, we use the not equal to operator (<>) with #N/A. Notice both values are enclosed in double quotes. COUNTIF returns 9 since there are nine cells in B5:B15 that do not contain the #N/A error....
where “start” is the named range K5, and contains the date September 1, 2018. Note: this example uses a formula technique that will work in older versions of Excel. For a more modern solution based on the SEQUENCE function, see this example. With the layout of grid as shown, the main problem is to calculate the date in the first cell in the calendar (B6). This is done with this formula: This formula figures out the Sunday prior to the first day of the month by using the CHOOSE function to “roll back” the right number of days to the previous Sunday....
When to use Excel AND Function Excel AND function can be used when you want to check multiple conditions. What it Returns It returns TRUE if all the conditions evaluate to TRUE, else it returns a FALSE (Note: it would return FALSE even if one condition is FALSE). Syntax =AND(logical1, [logical2],…) Input Arguments logical1 – the first condition that you want to evaluate for TRUE or FALSE. [logical2] – (Optional) This is the second condition that you want to evaluate for TRUE or FALSE....
Using the example above, you can count records where the color is “red” and price is > 10 with these formulas: Caution: if field is provided to the DCOUNT function, it is only counted when non-blank and numeric. If field contains a text value, or if the field is blank, it will not be counted, even when criteria match. Criteria options The criteria can include a variety of expressions. The table below shows some examples: The criteria range for DCOUNT can include more than one row below the headers....
The database argument is a range of cells that includes field headers, field is the name or index of the field to query, and criteria is a range of cells with headers that match those in database. Field can be specified with a name or index. Using the example above, you can get the sum of all “Blue” sales with these formulas: Criteria options The criteria can include a variety of expressions, including some wildcards....
The MINA function takes multiple arguments in the form number1, number2, number3, etc. up to 255 total. Arguments can be a hardcoded constant, a cell reference, or a range, in any combination. Examples Like the MIN function, the MINA function returns the smallest number in the supplied data: MINA can be used with constants, cell references, or ranges: MINA vs. MIN The primary difference between MIN and MINA is that MINA evaluates TRUE and FALSE values as 1 and 0, and text values as zero when these values appear in a range or in a cell reference....
The MINVERSE function takes just one argument, array, which should be a square matrix, with an equal number of rows and columns. In order for MINVERSE to calculate an inverse matrix, array must contain numbers only. When an inverse exists, MINVERSE returns an inverse matrix with the same dimensions as the array provided. If a matrix cannot be inverted, MINVERSE will return a #NUM! error. A matrix that can’t be inverted has a determinant of zero (0)....
To use PERCENTILE.EXC, provide a range of values and a number between 0 and 1 for the “k” argument, which represents percent. For example: You can also specify k as a percent using the % character: In the example shown, the formula in G5 is: where “scores” is the named range C5:C14. PERCENTILE.INC vs. PERCENTILE.EXC The reason the PERCENTILE.EXC function is exclusive is because the function excludes percentages from 0 to 1/(N+1) as well as N/(N+1) to 1, where N is the size of the input array....
Examples Numbers or punctuation characters inside a text string are unaffected: If a numeric value is given to PROPER, number formatting is removed. For example, if cell A1 contains the date June 26, 2021, date formatting will be lost and PROPER will return a date serial number as text: Related functions Use the LOWER function to convert text to lowercase, use the UPPER function to convert text to uppercase, and use the PROPER function to capitalize the words in a text string....

This formula lists the duplicate values in the named range data (B5:B16) using the “Min count” value in D5 as a minimum threshold. In other words, a value must occur in the data at least as many times as the number in D5. The result from the formula is dynamic and will change if the number in D5 is changed. Working from the inside out, the first step is to count the values in data....
where items (B3:B16), colors (C3:C16), and cities (D3:D16) are named ranges. This formula returns data where item is (tshirts OR hoodie) AND color is (red OR blue) AND city is (denver OR seattle). item is (tshirt OR hoodie) AND color is (red OR blue) AND city is (denver OR seattle) The filtering logic of this formula (the include argument) is applied with the ISNUMBER and MATCH functions, together with boolean logic applied in an array operation....
Below is the complete written tutorial, in case you prefer reading over watching a video. Conditional Formatting in Excel can be a great ally in while working with spreadsheets. A trick as simple as the one to highlight every other row in Excel could immensely increase the readability of your data set. And it is as EASY as PIE. Suppose you have a dataset as shown below: Let’s say you want to highlight every second month (i....
Let’s take a look. Here we have the product sales data we’ve looked at previously, with an empty pivot table, ready to use. Let’s start off by adding Product as a row label. Now let’s add Total Sales as a Value, and set the format to Accounting. By default, numeric fields that are placed into the values area are summed, so we now have the total sales summed per product....
But do you know that you can also copy the column width? Excel allows you to copy cells and paste selectively (such as only pasting the values or formatting or column width) In this short tutorial, I will show you how to use Paste Special options to copy and paste column widths in Excel. I will also give you the keyboard shortcut to copy column width in Excel. So let’s get started!...
Let’s take a look. If you want to replace information, just select a cell and start typing. Then type enter or tab to confirm. The contents of the cell will be completely replaced by the new information. If you want to revise the contents of a cell, double-click the cell and edit the content as you like. Then type enter or tab to confirm the change. Another way to edit content already in a cell is to press the F2 key....
Let’s take a look. Here we have a table that contains 300 property listings. Each entry has information for price, address, property type, bedrooms, baths, square footage, cost per square foot, year built, and date listed. Let’s use Excel’s filter tools to explore this information. First, we need to enable filter mode. Select any cell in the table, then click the Filter button on the Data tab of the ribbon....
Let’s take a look. There are two ways you can format values in a pivot table. The first way is to select cells directly in the pivot table and apply a format manually. For example, we can select the sales values in this pivot table and apply a currency format with no decimal places. In general, this works pretty well, and later versions of Excel are pretty good at extending this format as the table grows when new data is added....
As we’ve already seen, the RANDARRAY function can be used to generate random dates and times, which are numeric values. How can we generate random values that aren’t numeric? One way is to use this is to use the RANDARRAY function to generate random positions, then use the INDEX function to retrieve the values at these positions. In this worksheet, I have a list of 4 colors in the range B7:B10....
