ADVANCED
Here is a list of advanced Excel formulas that are useful for handling complex tasks like data
analysis, financial modeling, and problem-solving:
Advanced Excel Formulas:
1. INDEX & MATCH (Combined)
o =INDEX(A2:A10, MATCH("apple", B2:B10, 0))
o Description: A powerful alternative to VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP. MATCH finds the
position of a value, and INDEX retrieves the corresponding value from another
column or row.
2. XLOOKUP (Available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021)
o =XLOOKUP("apple", A2:A10, B2:B10, "Not Found")
o Description: A modern replacement for VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP that searches both
vertically and horizontally. It also handles errors more effectively and is more
flexible in returning results from both left and right.
3. SUMIFS
o =SUMIFS(A2:A10, B2:B10, "apples", C2:C10, ">10")
o Description: Adds the numbers in a range based on multiple criteria. For
example, sum values in column A where column B equals "apples" and column C
is greater than 10.
4. COUNTIFS
o =COUNTIFS(A2:A10, "apples", B2:B10, ">10")
o Description: Counts the number of cells that meet multiple criteria across
different ranges.
5. ARRAYFORMULA (In Google Sheets, but also in Excel 365 and Excel 2021 via
SEQUENCE)
o =ARRAYFORMULA(A2:A10*B2:B10)
o Description: Allows performing calculations on entire arrays/ranges instead of
individual cells. This can be replicated in Excel using SEQUENCE or TRANSPOSE for
multi-cell outputs.
6. OFFSET with COUNTA/COUNT
o =SUM(OFFSET(A1, 0, 0, COUNTA(A:A), 1))
o Description: The OFFSET function can be used to dynamically create ranges. In
this case, it sums a dynamically defined range in column A based on how many
non-empty cells are in column A.
7. INDIRECT
 o =INDIRECT("A" & B1)
o Description: Returns the reference specified by a text string, which can be useful
for building dynamic references based on user input or other data points.
8. TRANSPOSE
o =TRANSPOSE(A1:C3)
o Description: Changes the orientation of a range from horizontal to vertical or vice
versa.
9. TEXTJOIN (Available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021)
o =TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, A2:A10)
o Description: Joins multiple text items into one string with a delimiter. Unlike
CONCATENATE, this function can handle ranges and ignore empty cells.
10. FILTER (Available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021)
o =FILTER(A2:B10, B2:B10="apple")
o Description: Filters a range based on a condition and returns the resulting array.
It’s useful for dynamically extracting data that meets specific criteria.
11. SEQUENCE (Available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021)
o =SEQUENCE(10, 1, 1, 1)
o Description: Generates a sequence of numbers, making it useful for creating
dynamic lists or for use in arrays.
12. UNIQUE (Available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021)
o =UNIQUE(A2:A10)
o Description: Extracts unique values from a range, removing duplicates.
13. EOMONTH
o =EOMONTH(A1, 3)
o Description: Returns the last day of the month before or after a given number of
months. A1 is the start date, and the 3 indicates the number of months forward.
14. NETWORKDAYS
o =NETWORKDAYS(A1, A2)
o Description: Calculates the number of working days between two dates,
excluding weekends and optionally holidays.
15. SUMPRODUCT
o =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A10)*(B2:B10))
 o Description: Multiplies corresponding values in two or more arrays and then
returns the sum of those products. It's often used for weighted averages or
conditional summing.
16. DCOUNT
o =DCOUNT(A1:C10, "Sales", E1:E2)
o Description: Counts the number of cells that contain numbers in a database
(range) that meet specific criteria.
17. CUBE Functions (for Excel with Power Pivot)
o =CUBEVALUE("Sales", "Region", "East")
o Description: Used in Power Pivot models for pulling data from OLAP cubes or
data models directly into the sheet.
18. GETPIVOTDATA
o =GETPIVOTDATA("Sales", A1, "Region", "East")
o Description: Extracts data from a PivotTable. It allows you to reference
PivotTable data dynamically based on certain conditions.
19. POWER
o =POWER(A1, 2)
o Description: Raises a number to a specified power (e.g., squaring a number or
finding the cube of a value).
20. AGGREGATE
o =AGGREGATE(9, 3, A1:A10)
o Description: Performs a calculation (such as SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT) while
allowing you to ignore hidden rows or errors. The first argument (9) specifies the
function (in this case, SUM).
21. SUMPRODUCT with Conditional Logic
o =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A10="apple")*(B2:B10>10))
o Description: Combines SUMPRODUCT with logical conditions to perform
calculations based on multiple criteria.
22. FREQUENCY
o =FREQUENCY(A2:A10, B2:B6)
o Description: Returns a distribution of values in a data set, counting how many
times each number falls into a specified range.
23. SLOPE
o =SLOPE(A2:A10, B2:B10)
o Description: Returns the slope of the linear regression line through the data
points in A2:A10 (independent variable) and B2:B10 (dependent variable).
24. INTERCEPT
o =INTERCEPT(A2:A10, B2:B10)
o Description: Returns the intercept of the linear regression line for the data points
in A2:A10 and B2:B10.
25. LINEST
o =LINEST(B2:B10, A2:A10, TRUE, TRUE)
o Description: Returns statistics for a line of best fit, such as slope, intercept, and
correlation coefficient. Useful for regression analysis.
