Microsoft Excel, the world's most widely used spreadsheet software, received a significant update in the latter part of 2020. This update brought forth a range of new Excel functions and capabilities, enhancing the user experience and expanding the software's potential. One of the most notable additions is the introduction of dynamic arrays, which are functions that produce a range of results that adapt as the source data changes. In this course, we will explore the power and versatility of dynamic arrays and delve into the new functions that are now available.
Covered Excel Functions
Throughout the course, we will cover a variety of Excel functions that have been introduced with this update.
These functions include RANDARRAY, which allows users to generate a table of random numbers or dates.
The Excel UNIQUE function is another valuable addition, as it enables users to identify distinct items in a list.
The Excel SEQUENCE function is particularly useful for enumerating numbers with a specified interval.
Additionally, the SORT and SORTBY functions provide new methods for dynamically sorting data, while the FILTER function allows users to construct the ability to filter data within formulas.
Another noteworthy function is XLOOKUP, which offers greater flexibility as a replacement for the traditional VLOOKUP function.
Furthermore, the IFS and SWITCH functions simplify the construction of IF statements, making it easier for users to create logical conditions.
Lastly, the new CONCAT and TEXTJOIN text functions provide enhanced capabilities for manipulating and combining text.
Availability
It is important to note that these new functions are only accessible to users with an active Office 365 subscription. Unfortunately, they are not supported in earlier versions of Excel, including Excel 2019. Therefore, if you are using an earlier version of Microsoft Excel, you will not be able to access these functions, and this course may not be suitable for you.
