1. INDEX/MATCH Formula:
- =INDEX(A1:A10, MATCH(B1, C1:C10, 0)) - Returns the value in column A corresponding to the match found in column C based on the value in B1.
2. SUMIFS Formula:
- =SUMIFS(D1:D10, A1:A10, "Category", B1:B10, "Criteria") - Sums values in column D that meet multiple criteria specified in columns A and B.
3. COUNTIFS Formula:
- =COUNTIFS(A1:A10, "Category", B1:B10, "Criteria") - Counts the number of cells that meet multiple criteria specified in columns A and B.
4. AVERAGEIFS Formula:
- =AVERAGEIFS(C1:C10, A1:A10, "Category", B1:B10, "Criteria") - Calculates the average of values that meet multiple criteria specified in columns A and B.
5. VLOOKUP with Approximate Match:
- =VLOOKUP(E1, A1:B10, 2, TRUE) - Performs an approximate match lookup based on the value in E1 within the first column of the lookup range.
6. HLOOKUP with Approximate Match:
- =HLOOKUP(F1, A1:D5, 3, TRUE) - Performs an approximate match lookup based on the value in F1 within the first row of the lookup range.
7. IFERROR Formula:
- =IFERROR(G1/G2, "Error") - Returns the result of G1 divided by G2, unless an error occurs, in which case it displays "Error".
8. TRANSPOSE Formula:
- =TRANSPOSE(H1:H10) - Transposes a vertical range into a horizontal range, or vice versa.
9. CONCATENATE with Delimiter:
- =CONCATENATE(I1, ",", I2) - Combines the values in cells I1 and I2, separating them with a comma.
10. INDEX with Multiple Criteria:
- =INDEX(A1:A10, MATCH(1, (B1:B10="Criteria1")*(C1:C10="Criteria2"), 0)) - Returns the value in column A that meets multiple criteria specified in columns B and C.
11. INDIRECT with Text Reference:
- =INDIRECT("'Sheet1'!"&J1) - Returns the value referenced in cell J1 on "Sheet1".
12. OFFSET Formula:
- =OFFSET(A1, 2, 1, 1, 1) - Returns the value located 2 rows down and 1 column to the right of cell A1.
13. XLOOKUP Formula:
- =XLOOKUP(K1, A1:A10, B1:B10) - Searches for a value in column A and returns the corresponding value in column B.
14. XMATCH Formula:
- =XMATCH(L1, A1:A10, 0) - Returns the position of the value in cell L1 within the range A1:A10.
15. TEXTJOIN Formula:
- =TEXTJOIN(", ", TRUE, M1:M10) - Joins text from cells M1 to M10, separated by commas.
16. UNIQUE Formula:
- =UNIQUE(N1:N10) - Returns unique values from cells N1 to N10.
17. SORT Formula:
- =SORT(O1:O10, 1, TRUE) - Sorts the values in cells O1 to O10 in ascending order.
18. FILTER Formula:
- =FILTER(P1:P10, Q1:Q10="Criteria") - Filters values in cells P1 to P10 based on the criteria specified in cells Q1 to Q10.
19. FORECAST Formula:
- =FORECAST.RADAR(R1, S1:S10, T1:T10) - Predicts a future value based on existing data using radar charts.
20. WEBSERVICE Formula:
- =WEBSERVICE("URL") - Retrieves data from a web service or API and returns the result into the cell.
