VSTACK works equally well for ranges on a worksheet or in-memory arrays created by a formula. The output from VSTACK is fully dynamic. If data in the given arrays changes, the result from VSTACK will immediately update. VSTACK works well with Excel Tables, as seen in the worksheet above, since Excel Tables automatically expand when new data is added. Use VSTACK to combine ranges vertically and HSTACK to combine ranges horizontally....
where the values in column D (start) and the range E4:J4 are valid Excel dates. Translated: if the date in column D is less than or equal to the date in row E. Note these are mixed references. The column in $D5 is locked, and the row in E$4 is locked. This allows the formula to be copied across the table. If the result of this test is TRUE, the IF function returns the expense from column C, otherwise IF returns zero (0)....
Notes: Exact-match VLOOKUP is slow When you use VLOOKUP in “exact match mode” on a large set of data, it can really slow down the calculation time in a worksheet. With, say, 50,000 records, or 100,000 records, calculation can take minutes. Exact match is set by supplying FALSE or zero as the fourth argument: The reason VLOOKUP in this mode is slow is because it must check every single record in the data set until a match is found....
This formula returns the “Group” column plus data for the year in J4, sorted in descending order by the values in that year. The year in J4 is a dropdown menu created with data validation. In this example, the goal is to filter the data shown in B5:G15 by year, then sort the results in descending order. In addition, the result should include the Group column, sorted in the same way....
The result returned by FILTER includes only rows where group is “red” or “blue”. After each expression is evaluated, we have the following two arrays: The math operation (addition) coerces TRUE and FALSE values to 1s and 0s: The result is a single array like this: This final array is delivered to the FILTER function as the include argument, and FILTER returns only rows that correspond to a 1. Or, to put it another way, FILTER removes rows that are zero....
With a lot of data…comes a lot of duplicate data. Duplicates in Excel can cause a lot of troubles. Whether you import data from a database, get it from a colleague, or collate it yourself, duplicates data can always creep in. And if the data you are working with is huge, then it becomes really difficult to find and remove these duplicates in Excel. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to find and remove duplicates in Excel....
Note: this formula deals with weekend shading only. To see how to build the date bars with conditional formatting, see this article. To shade days that are weekends, we are using a formula based on the weekday function. By default, the weekday function returns a number between 1 and 7 that corresponds to days of the week, where Sunday is 1 and Saturday is 7. However, by adding the optional second argument called “return type” with a value of 2, the numbering scheme changes so that Monday is 1 and Saturday and Sunday are 6 and 7, respectively....
Let’s take a look. Once you add a field to a Pivot Table, you can view and change attributes of the field using the Field Settings dialog box. One way to get to this dialog box is to use the drop-down menu for that field in the Field List pane, and select Value Field Settings, or Field Settings from the menu. The settings you have access to will vary depending on whether the field is a Value field, or a Label field....
Let’s take a look. Before you apply borders, you may want to turn off the gridlines that appear by default in Excel. This will make it easier to see the borders you create. You can turn off gridlines by unchecking Gridlines on the Layout tab of the ribbon. To apply a border, first select the cells you’d like to add borders to. Then, open the Format Cells dialog box and navigate to the Border tab....
Let’s take a look at a few ways to create named ranges. The simplest way to create a named range is to use the name box, which sits to the left of the formula bar. Simply select the cells you want to name, and type the name in the box. For example, to give the data in this table a name, first select the cells that include the data, then enter a name in the name box....
Here we have some data that is a good candidate for a table. Each row represents an entry or record with information that belongs together. Each column has a unique name. The first step in creating a table is to remove any blank rows or columns. Tables are designed to manage data in one contiguous block of cells. Next, make sure column names are unique. Then, to create a table, select any cell in the data range and click the Table button on the Insert tab of the ribbon....
When you create a regular chart in Excel, it usually has only one X-axis and one Y-axis. But with combination charts, you can have two Y-axis, which allows you to have two different type of data points in the same chart. For example, you may be interested in plotting the annual revenue numbers of a company, and at the same time, also be able to show how the profit margin has changed....
And one common task many Excel users have to do is to cut the cell values from one cell and paste it to some other cell in the same worksheet or in another worksheet/workbook. While this is a basic operation that most Excel users are often aware of, in case you’re a beginner, I’ll show you everything you need to know about how to cut a cell value in Excel....
It helps you analyze data by getting different views by dates, weeks, months, quarters, and years. For example, if you have credit card data, you may want to group it in different ways (such as grouping by months or quarters or years). Similarly, if you have a call center data, then you may want to group it by minutes or hours. Watch Video – Grouping Dates in Pivot Tables (Grouping by Months/Years)...
Whenever you have a lookup table visible to users, a nice touch is to highlight the rows and columns that match the current lookup. This makes it easy for users to see where a value is coming from, and it’s a nice way make your spreadsheets more friendly and transparent. This effect is easy to create with conditional formatting. To start off, I’ll delete the existing conditional formatting rules and then rebuild them step-by-step....
That’s how it’s supposed to work. But what if you want to show formulas in the cells and not the calculated values. In this Excel tutorial, I will cover the following topics: How to Show Formulas in Excel instead of the values. How to Print the formulas in Excel. How to Show Formulas in Excel in Selected Cells Only. What to Do when Excel Shows Formulas Instead of the Calculated Values....
When to use Excel RANK Function RANK function can be used when you want to rank a number against a list of numbers. What it Returns It returns a number that represents the relative rank of the number against the list of numbers. Syntax =RANK(number, ref, [order]) Input Arguments number – the number that you want to rank. ref – the list of numbers against which you want to rank the number argument....
Syntax LEFT(Text, Number) Text (required) – This is the text string you want to return the left most characters from.Number (optional) – This is the number of characters you want returned. If no value is entered, only the first character will be returned. Example In this example we get the first few characters of a text string. Notice that negative numbers result in a #VALUE! error and non whole numbers are rounded down to the whole integer....
What Is The Name Box? The Name Box has several functions. It displays the address of the active cell.It displays the name of the cell, range or object selected if this has been named.It can be used to name a cell, range or object like a chart.It can be used to go to any address you type into it.It contains a drop down list of all named cells and ranges and can be used to go to any of them....
At the core, this formula simply divides tasks complete by the total task count: which is then formatted as a percentage. To count completed tasks, we count non-blank cells in the range C5:C11 with the COUNTA function: Unlike the COUNT function, which counts only numeric values, COUNTA will count cells that include numbers or text. To count total tasks, we count non-blank cells in the range C5:C11, again with COUNTA: After COUNTA runs, we can simply the formula to: Four divided by 7 results in the decimal number 0....
