Example In the example above, the three ranges map to arrays in a “row by column” scheme like this: If we display the values in these ranges as arrays, we have: Notice arrays must represent a rectangular structure. Array syntax All arrays in Excel are wrapped in curly brackets {} and the delimiters between array elements indicate rows and/or columns. In the US version of Excel, a comma (,) separates columns and a semicolon (;) separates rows....
In such cases, you can adjust the rows and columns to fit the text in the cell (so that the text is completely within the cell). This can be done using the AutoFit feature in Excel. In this tutorial, I will show you how to use Autofit in Excel using multiple ways. I will also cover some other Excel features you can use when you’re working with text data in Excel....
To convert degrees back to radians, you can use the RADIANS function. Converting degrees to radians manually Because Pi = 180°, the general formula for degrees to radians is degrees * PI()/180. For example, to convert 45° to radians, the Excel formula would be 45*PI( )/180 which equals 0.7854 radians. More examples in the table below: Dave Bruns Hi - I’m Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa....
When to use Excel FALSE Function FALSE function returns the logical value FALSE. It does not take any input arguments. What it Returns It returns the logical value FALSE. Syntax =FALSE() Input Arguments It does not take any input arguments. Additional Notes FALSE function is best used when you are evaluating a condition, and if isn’t TRUE, you simply want to get the FALSE value in the cell. For example: =IF(AND(A1>0,A1<100),”Approve”,FALSE()) In this example, if the condition is not met, it simply returns FALSE as the result....
The ISLOGICAL function takes one argument, value, which can be a cell reference, a formula, or a hardcoded value. When value is TRUE or FALSE, the ISLOGICAL function will return TRUE. If value is any other value, ISLOGICAL will return FALSE. Examples The ISLOGICAL function returns TRUE if value is TRUE or FALSE: If value is a formula, ISLOGICAL checks the result of the formula: Note that 1 and 0 (zero) are not evaluated as TRUE and FALSE....
The ISNUMBER function takes one argument, value, which can be a cell reference, a formula, or a hardcoded value. Typically, value is entered as a cell reference like A1. When value is a number, the ISNUMBER function will return TRUE. Otherwise, ISNUMBER will return FALSE. Examples The ISNUMBER function returns TRUE if value is numeric: If cell A1 contains the number 100, ISNUMBER returns TRUE: If a cell contains a formula, ISNUMBER checks the result of the formula: Note: the ampersand (&) is the concatenation operator in Excel....
The MMULT function takes two arguments, array1 and array2, both of which are required. The column count of array1 must equal the row count of array2. For example, you can multiply a 2 x 3 array by a 3 x 2 array to return a 2 x 2 array result. The MMULT function will return a #VALUE! error if array1 columns do not equal array2 rows. Note: In Excel 365, which supports dynamic arrays, MMULT spills multiple values on the worksheet....
Excel offers many types of number formatting. Dave Bruns Hi - I’m Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa. Our goal is to help you work faster in Excel. We create short videos, and clear examples of formulas, functions, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and charts.
Note: In Mac Excel 365, the Control key can be substituted for the Command key. Before Mac Excel 2016, this shortcut was Control + I.

TEXTAFTER takes six arguments; only the first two are required. The first argument, text, is the text string to process. The second argument, delimiter is the substring to use as a delimiter when extracting text. Both text and delimiter are required. The third argument, instance_num, is an integer that represents the nth instance of the delimiter in text (i.e. to extract the text after the second instance, use 2 for instance_num)....
Examples The TYPE function returns a numeric code: If TYPE is given an array constant, or a range, the result is 64: TYPE returns 16 for errors: Notes You can’t use TYPE to test for a formula, because TYPE evaluates the result. Excel dates and times are numbers, and therefore return 1. Dave Bruns Hi - I’m Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa. Our goal is to help you work faster in Excel....
The output contains only rows from the source data where all three columns have a value. To do this, we use three boolean expressions operating on arrays. The first expression tests for blank names: The not operator (<>) with an empty string ("") translates to “not empty”. For each cell in the range B5:B15, the result will be either TRUE or FALSE, where TRUE means “not empty” and FALSE means “empty”....
Note: this worksheet has two named ranges: bid (C5:C12), and company (B5:B12), used for convenience and readability. In this case, the rank simply comes from column E. Retrieve associated values To retrieve the name of the company associated with smallest bids, we use INDEX and MATCH. The formula in G7 is: Here, the value in column F is used as the lookup value inside MATCH, with the named range bid (C5:C12) for lookup_array, and match type set to zero to force exact match....
Here are the formatting features that can be quickly accessed through the Excel Ribbon. Suppose you have the data as shown below: With some simple data formatting steps, the data can look like a beauty queen. Here are some of the formats that can increase the readability: Give a border Make the headers Font Bold Give a cell color to headers Center Align the Headers All these options can be quickly accessed through the Excel ribbon....
For example, if you have dates in the range B4:G11, and want to highlight cells that occur in the next 30 days, select the range and create a new CF rule that uses this formula: Note: it’s important that CF formulas be entered relative to the “active cell” in the selection, which is assumed to be B4 in this case. Once you save the rule, you’ll see the dates occurring in the next 30 days highlighted....
Change the default number of sheets in a new workbook.
Example Generic Formula What It Does This formula will create a hyperlink that opens a file explorer window to the folder location where the current workbook is saved. How It Works LEFT(CELL(“filename”,C2),FIND(“[“,CELL(“filename”,C2))-2) will return the folder path of the current workbook. See how this part of the formula works from another post. In this example, this part of the formula returns “C:\Users\John\Google Drive – Excel\Excel Website\Formulas\How To Create A Hyperlink To The Current Workbook Folder“....
In the projects I have worked so far, Milestone Charts (also known as timeline charts) are often one of the most discussed parts. A commitment to delivering is as important as the project itself. A milestone chart is an effective tool to depict project scope and timelines. In this post, I will show you a simple technique to quickly generate a Milestone chart in Excel. Something as shown below:...
When working with data in Excel, sorting the data is one of the common things you might have to do. In most of the cases, you need to sort a single column. But in some cases, there may be a need to sort two columns or more than two columns. For example, in the below dataset, I want to sort the data by the Region column and then by the Sales Column....
