The CEILING.MATH function takes three arguments, number, significance, and mode. Number is the numeric value to round up, and is the only required argument. With no other input, CEILING.MATH will round number up to the next integer. The significance argument is the multiple to which number should be rounded. In most cases, significance is provided as a numeric value, but CEILING.MATH can also understand time entered as text like “0:15”....
Syntax The generic syntax for COUNTIF looks like this: The COUNTIF function takes two arguments, range and criteria. Range is the range of cells to apply a condition to. Criteria is the condition to apply, along with any logical operators that are needed. Applying criteria The COUNTIF function supports logical operators (>,<,<>,<=,>=) and wildcards (*,?) for partial matching. The tricky part about using the COUNTIF function is the syntax used to apply criteria....
In the example shown, the formula in C6, copied down, is: Notes: Only lowercase “j” and “i” are accepted by IMAB. Other values will result in the #NUM error.

The MAKEARRAY function takes three arguments: rows, columns, and lambda. Rows is the number of columns to create, and columns is the number or columns to create. Lambda is the calculation to use when creating values in the array. The total number of values in the array returned by MAKEARRAY will equal rows * columns. LAMBDA structure The MAKEARRAY uses the LAMBDA function to apply the formula required to calculate array values....
Dates can be supplied to the MONTH function as text (e.g. “13-Aug-2021”) or as native Excel dates, which are large serial numbers. To create a date value from scratch with separate year, month, and day inputs, use the DATE function. The MONTH function will “reset” every 12 months (like a calendar). To work with month durations larger than 12, use a formula to calculate months between dates. The MONTH function returns a number....
In the example shown, the formula in F5 is: with these inputs, the PRICE function returns 97.56, which indicates the value of the bond is 97.56% of the face value. To get the actual dollar value, the formula in F6 is: Entering dates In Excel, dates are serial numbers. Generally, the best way to enter valid dates is to use cell references, as shown in the example. If you want to enter valid dates directly inside a function, the DATE function is the best approach....
First, because the Ribbon takes up quite a lot of space, you may want to collapse it when you don’t need it. On Windows, use Control + F1. On a Mac, use Command Alt R. Each time you use the shortcut, you’ll toggle the ribbon. The main attraction of the ribbon, from a shortcuts point of view, is accelerator keys. Accelerator keys let you run most commands in Excel from the keyboard, which is especially handy for commands that don’t have a dedicated shortcut....

A hyperbolic angle is defined as a ray from the origin of the coordinate system that passes through a point on the hyperbola. The area formed by the hyperbolic angle is equal to one-half the hyperbolic angle. Area above the x-axis is considered positive and area below the x-axis is negative. Shown below are some hyperbolic angles on the unit hyperbola and their corresponding points. As the angle approaches positive infinity, the angle converges to the diagonal asymptote in the first quadrant of the coordinate system....
Working from the inside out, we first use the SUBSTITUTE function to replace the nth occurrence of “@” with CHAR(160): The SUBSTITUTE function has an optional 4th argument called instance number that can be used to specify the instance that should be replaced. This number comes from column C. SUBSTITUTE then replaces the nth occurrence of “@” with CHAR(160), which resolves to “†”. We use CHAR(160) because it won’t normally appear in text....
The result in column C is the current price for each of the stock Data Types in column B. These prices will change when the Data Type is refreshed. Note: you can use the STOCKHISTORY function to get the last available close price and other historical pricing at daily, weekly, and monthly intervals. The STOCKHISTORY function is a “pure” formula approach, the approach described here requires the Stocks Data Type....
In Excel’s lingo, chart elements include things like the chart title, the legend, gridlines, data labels, axis labels, and so forth. Before Excel 2013, chart elements were added using controls on the Layout tab of the ribbon, visible when a chart is selected. Starting with Excel 2013, the layout tab was removed and replaced by the chart elements control, which appears as a plus symbol when a chart is selected....
In this video, we’ll look at how to use the F9 key to quickly break a formula down into pieces that you can understand. Here we have a simple list of names. In addition to names, we have a column for birthdate, a column for age, and a column for legal status. We’ve covered this before, but whenever you inherit a new worksheet, make sure you understand first where the formulas are....
Here are the test scores we looked at earlier. The Summary sheet is pulling in the results from Week1 through Week5. Suppose we want to average those test scores? In that case, since we have all the test scores on one sheet already, we can just use the AVERAGE function and refer to the cells in columns D through H to get an average. But what if we wanted to get an average of all the test scores on the different sheets and we didn’t have them already on the Summary sheet?...
Let’s take a look. Often you’ll need to generate a series of dates separated by a certain interval of days, months, or years. You can easily do this with Excel’s Date functions. For example, assume you want a series of dates separated by one month, starting from January 1, 2015. First, enter the start date. Next, add a formula that begins with the DATE function. For each argument, use the corresponding function to extract the value you need from the start date....
Let’s take a look. Excel’s LEFT and RIGHT functions are easy to use when you know how many characters you want to extract. But what if you want to extract the first name from a full name? If you try LEFT by itself, you’ll quickly realize you have a problem because you don’t know how many characters to extract. For example, with this list of names, if I enter “5” to extract five characters, it does work for some names like Traci, and Linda, and Sarah....
Data labels are used to display source data in a chart directly. They normally come from the source data, but they can include other values as well, as we’ll see in in a moment. Generally, the easiest way to show data labels to use the chart elements menu. When you check the box, you’ll see data labels appear in the chart. If you have more than one data series, you can select a series first, then turn on data labels for that series only....
When you first create an Excel Table, you’ll see filter buttons automatically added to the top of each column. Each filter is customized to match the contents of the column. For example, when I click the filter for Color, Excel displays a checkbox for each color that appears in the data. This list is dynamic. If I change Purple to Yellow in a row, Yellow appears automatically in the filter menu....
