images play an important role in conveying information. But, for people with visual impairments, images can be inaccessible. This is why alt text is so important. Alt text is a brief description of an image that can be read by screen-reading software. It allows people with vision impairments to understand the images in your workbook. Including alt text is essential for making sure that all users can access the content of your spreadsheet....
The result is that negative values are forced to zero, values over 1 are capped at 1, and values between 0 and 1 are unaffected. Note: all values formatted with percentage number format. The goal of this example is to limit incoming percentage values so that they fall within an upper and lower threshold. Negative values and values over 100% are not allowed, so the final result must be a number between zero and 1 (0-100%), inclusive....

which returns 3, since there are three unique names in B6:B15 associated with Omega. Note: this formula requires Dynamic Array Formulas, available only in Excel 365. With an older version of Excel, you can use more complex alternative formulas. At the core, this formula uses the FILTER function to apply criteria, and the UNIQUE function to extract the unique values that remain. Working from the inside out, the FILTER function is used to apply criteria and extract only names that are associated with the “Omega” project: Notice the if_empty argument in FILTER is set to an empty string (""), which is important due to the way we count final results....
Examples The formulas below show how the AREAS function can be configured. Notice the first example does not need an extra set of parentheses, since there is just one reference).

The DEVSQ 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. A single range or array can be provided instead of multiple arguments. Examples In the example shown, the formula in G5 is: The formulas in C5 and D5 are, respectively: The value in D12 (34) is simply the sum of D5:D10, and agrees with the value calculated directly by DEVSQ in G5....

Using Degrees To supply an angle to TAN in degrees, multiply the angle by PI()/180 or use the RADIANS function to convert to radians. For example, to get the TAN of 60 degrees, you can use either formula below: Explanation The graph of the tangent function, shown above, visualizes the output of the function for angles from 0 to a full rotation corresponding to the range [0, 2π]. The function has two vertical asymptotes within the range [0, 2π] where the output diverges to infinity....
where trip (B5:B14) and cost (C5:C14) are named ranges. In F5, F6, and F7, the formula returns the trip closest in cost to 500, 1000, and 1500, respectively. Note: this is an array formula and must be entered with control + shift + enter, except in Excel 365. Taking things step-by-step, the lookup value is calculated with MIN and ABS like this: First, the value in E5 is subtracted from the named range cost (C5:C14)....
I had to create a number of drop downs with the options ranging from 1 to 5. To make it more user-friendly, I also wanted to give an option of ‘Not Selected’, when a user does not want to make a selection in the drop down list in excel. Something as shown below in the pic: The problem here is that when I choose ‘Not Selected’ from the drop down, it returns the text Not Selected (see in the formula bar in the pic above)....
In the example, we are using this formula: At the core, this formula is extracting characters from the URL, starting from the left, and using the FIND function to figure out how many characters to extract. First, FIND locates the “/” character in the URL, starting at the 9th character. This is the “clever” part of the formula. URLs begin with something called a “protocol” which looks like this: http:// https:// ftp:// sftp:// and so on....
Then n * 7 days is added the first of the month, to get a start date n weeks from the first of the month. In the generic form of the formula, n represents “nth”. The next step is to calculate the adjustment required to reach the final result. The adjustment is calculated using WEEKDAY and DAY: Inside WEEKDAY, the first of the month is again calculated, then 8 days are added and the value for dow (day of week) is subtracted....
Let’s take a look. Here we have a table that shows five test scores for a group of students. Let’s create a conditional formatting rule to highlight all test scores over 90 in green. To create a new conditional formatting rule, first select the cells you’d like to format. Then, select an option from the Conditional Formatting menu. When creating a new conditional format, you have two basic choices: you can start with one of the many presets that Excel includes, or you can define a new rule from scratch....
In this spreadsheet, we have a table of employees with a small amount of formatting. To get shading on every other row, we could just convert this table to a proper Excel table using Control + T, then customize the format as desired. This is a good option, especially if you want the table for other reasons as well. However, you can also apply dynamic zebra striping with conditional formatting and a formula....
