Syntax The syntax for the COUNTIFS function depends on the criteria being evaluated. Each separate condition will require a range and a criteria. The generic syntax looks like this: The first two arguments, range1 and criteria1 are required. Range1 is the range to which criteria1 should be applied. Range2 is the range to which criteria2 should be applied. Additional conditions are applied by providing more range and criteria arguments: the third condition is defined by range3 and criteria3, the fourth condition is defined by range4 and criteria4, and so on....

The ERROR.TYPE function takes just one argument, error_val, which is expected to be an Excel error like #VALUE!, #DIV/0!, #NAME!, etc. When error_val is an error, ERROR.TYPE returns a numeric code. If error_val is not an error, ERROR.TYPE returns an error itself: the #N/A error. In most cases, error_val will be supplied as a reference to a cell that may contain an error value. Examples If cell A1 contains displays the #DIV/0 error, then ERROR....

The behavior of the fill handle varies depending on the content of the cell or range selected: When an adjacent column contains values, double-clicking the fill handle will extend values down the worksheet to match, following the behaviors described above.

The HYPERLINK function takes two arguments: link_location and friendly_name. Link_location is the destination or path the link should follow, entered as text. Friendly_name is the text that will be displayed with the link. When a user clicks a cell that contains the HYPERLINK function, Excel will open the file or page specified by link_location. Link_location can be a cell reference or named range, a path to a file stored on a local drive, a path a file on a server using Universal Naming Convention (UNC), or an internet path in Uniform Resource Locator (URL) format....

The INDIRECT function in Excel can be used when you have the reference of a cell or a range as a text string and you want to get the values from those references. In short – you can use the indirect formula to return the reference specified by the text string. In this Excel tutorial, I will show you how to use the indirect function in Excel using some practical examples....

The INTERCEPT function takes two arguments, known_ys and known_xs, which should be a range or array of numeric values. The known_ys represent dependent values and known_xs represent independent values. Both arguments must contain the same number values, or INTERCEPT will return #N/A. Example Values can be entered directly in INTERCEPT as array constants: Typically, values are supplied as ranges. In the example shown, the formula in E5 is: This formula returns 2, based on known_ys in C5:C9, and known_xs in B5:B9....

Notes The return value is a z-score, which represents how far the value is from the mean of the distribution in terms of the standard deviation. See NORM.INV for non-standardized input. Probability input outside of the range of (0,1) results in an error. The standard normal distribution is a special case of the normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. The standard normal cumulative distribution function returns the probability of an event occurring below a threshold value....

To apply the percentage number format to a number, first select the number(s), then use any of these methods: Use the keyboard shortcut Control + Shift + Enter Select “Percentage” from the dropdown on the home tab of the ribbon Click the % button in the Number section on the home tab of the ribbon Control + 1 > Number > Percentage Applying percentage format does not change the number, only the display of the number....

The SUM 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. All numbers in the arguments provided are summed. The SUM function automatically ignores empty cells and text values, which makes SUM useful for summing cells that may contain text values. The SUM function will sum hardcoded values and numbers that result from formulas....

Like ASCII, Unicode is a character set. However, Unicode is a very large character set, because Unicode is a superset of other character sets. Whereas ASCII contains 128 characters, Unicode 11.0 (June 2018) contains 137,439 characters covering 146 modern and historic scripts. Unicode can be implemented in different encodings, for example, UTF-8, UTF-16, etc. UTF-8 dominates the web. It is estimated that over 90% of websites use UTF-8. The first 128 Unicode code points are the ASCII characters....

with these inputs, the YIELD function returns 0.08 which, or 8.00% when formatted with the percentage number format. 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. Basis The basis argument controls how days are counted....

The result in column D is the nth word of the text in column B, where n is given in column C. Note: The TEXTSPLIT function is new in Excel. See below for a formula that works in Legacy Excel. TEXTSPLIT function The TEXTSPLIT function provides a simple way to solve this problem. As the name implies, TEXTSPLIT will split text into pieces using a custom delimiter. In the example shown, the formula in cell D5 is: Working from the inside out, the TEXTSPLIT function is configured to split text at each space (" “) character: Text comes from cell B5....

which returns the time portion of the value in B5, 1:00 PM. The MOD function returns the remainder from division. The first argument is the number and the second is the divisor. Here are a few examples: If you use MOD with a divisor of 1, the result will be the decimal part of the number, if any, because every whole number can be evenly divided by itself. For example: In short, =MOD(number,1) returns just the fractional part of a number, discarding the integer portion, so it’s a convenient way to extract time from a date....
