Working with data is an instrumental component in many areas of decision making. Excel is one of the most common applications for consuming, analyzing, and presenting data. Additionally, many of the skills and concepts that work with Excel are transferable to other spreadsheet applications such as Apple Numbers, Google Sheets, and Quip.

Find the Nth Matching Value
MATCH is a great Excel function. Unfortunately, it’s limited to returning the first instance of a matching value. XMATCH improves upon MATCH to allow returning either the first or last matching value.
What if the value you want to return is somewhere in the middle? In this video, we’ll use Excel’s LARGE and SMALL functions to build an equation that returns any instance of a match you’d like.

How to Flip Signs for a Range of Numbers in Excel
Thanks, Justin, this really helped me. All the steps are broken down and easy to digest. For Google Spreadsheet users, you will need to include the "=ArrayFormula({})" formula. So it would be =ArrayFormula({max(ROW(A:A)*NOT(ISBLANK(A:A)))})
Hello Justin, Thank you for the great video. It helped me to sum the alternate columns in my table. I have a model where there are multiple columns [36 columns] - Actual, Budget and Variance for 12 months. Is it possible to create a dynamic model where the sum total of the YTD can be based on criteria? For ex- Criteria YTD Oct Actual [from a drop down list] - Captures sums of Jan-Oct, but ignore Nov-Dec in the range ? with the current formula, its sums everything in the range. Appreciate a reply.
Usefull on both tips, thanks
Thanks for this video. I have this project I'm working on that looks at attendance by Month, Year and Employee. I have created this let formula =LET(d,Data[ATTENDANCE DATE],e,Data[EMP NAME],p,Data[Position],m,Data[MONTHLY],i,Data[Include], sl,TRANSPOSE(SORT(UNIQUE(e),,-1)), vl,SORT(UNIQUE(d),,1), cl,SUM(m), fr,HSTACK("Start of Month",sl,"Total Payroll"), sr,HSTACK(vl,SUMIFS(m,d,vl,e,sl),SUMIFS(m,d,vl)), tr,HSTACK("Total Hours", SUMIFS(m,e,sl),SUM(cl)), VSTACK(fr,sr,tr)) I have a column in the Data set called Include =SUBTOTAL(3,[@[EMP NAME]]) Using the Pivotvy function it will filter the Data based on Slicers. The issue is that Pivotby is not available in the Customers current 365 Version. Theye do have the Filter and Let functions. How would i add the Filter function into the Let formula above.
Any suggestion on how to only include unique values? I've tried using the "unique" formula but it doesn't work.
Nice. How could you bring the template lambda's into an existing Excel file?
"Wow, excellent teacher! Thank you, man, it was great. You also taught wildcard scenarios excellently."
Can we merge the blanks cell with the above cell having values
bro ty so much
how can I search based on the ending of words? *end doesn't work because it finds "end" anywhere in the word, and ?end finds it anywhere as long as it's not at the beginning because it requires at least one preceding character. Neither option specifies anything about what happen if there is no wildcard after the string being searched.
How could I do this if each group had a set distribution? For example, group A should be assigned to 40% of participants, group b 20%, group c 30%, and group d 10%?
Hi Hollie! Did you find an answer to your question? I'm trying to solve a similar problem. Thank you!
Thanks dear! Brilliant, Logical, easy!!! Solved my problem!!!
I have been searching for a way to do this for way too long. I'm not an office guy. I will work on this method but how do I do it the easier way you suggested is available with 365?
This was one of the best videos I've ever watched. The time and consideration you put into your visuals to help the viewer better understand what you were saying (using blue arrows and orange arrows to differentiate between the occurrences or using a border around the range you were talking about) is great. Seriously man keep up the great work. Definitely subscribing to your channel.
A piece of genius. This has solved a challenge I could not figure out.
Amazing video, thanks. I would need another extension of this formula. I need the sum of the QTRs, however for a particular product lead. How can I put filter on both row and column at the same time? Appreciate your help.
Great Solution! Thank you!!
does the formula in E2 work in google sheets?
This is the error I'm getting: "Did not find value 'TRUE' in MATCH evaluation."
Life changer for me thnx
This is a very good video with excellent information. Unfortunately, it was very hard to follow and replicate because your video did not zoom into what you were doing or explaning and I could not read the formulas that you created. This made it very difficult to implement your excellent information. Recommend looking at some other like tutorial videos (like this one: ua-cam.com/video/_JfsEWfyv_E/v-deo.html) and learn how to zoom in and out so people can see what you are actually doing, especially demonstrating/explaning the formulas are concerned.
Hi, Thanks for the video; if I have a Microsoft 365 license, what would be the process!?
Tried on 2013 and 2019 versions, but formula A returns N/A and formula B returns always 1.As another user mentioned below, results is seen in function arguments only but not in sheet
In Excel 2013 i'm seeing =MAX(ROW(A:A)) always returns 1, but (note ROWS vs ROW) =MAX(ROWS(A:A)) returns 1048576. But that doesn't help Formula B, which is now always returning 1048576 . in 2013 i'm trying =MATCH( MAX(A:A), A:A, 1) which seems to work (i.e. find the last row) with numbers and dates, but not chars. For chars i can use a large string as in =MATCH( "zzzzzzzz", A:A, 1). I feel like i'm going astray.
both formulae always return N/A when appears on sheet or when tracking, howevrer the correct answer will be shown when using the function argument pane but still appear on sheet as N/A

This was a lifesaver. I had almost 8k of rows with over 80% that were blank in a column and this made it take less than a minute to fix.👍
Hi really appreciate this video, one issue i had when emulating this with my project is that it wont update new data due to overlapping pivot tables, i have the same spacing as you and nothing underneath each pivot table. what should i do?
Hey I loved your video. But I couldn’t find your formula you used in video because the video was blurry. It would be really great if you could share the excel file.. Please Please 🙏 Please
What if your lookup value is an entire column of values?
Thank you so much for that video; I have been looking for this for so long. I have followed your instructions step by step, and it is working well. I have one question, though - not really an error, just an annoying thing. For example, the division I chose is Div 07, and when I expand the dropdown of Salespeople, it shows me the names of salespeople assigned to that Div 07. However, at the top of the dropdown, it is displaying Div 07 as the first Salesperson option. I'm not sure where I made a mistake, and I would appreciate information if you know what I should correct. Thank you.
Worth noting (just cause I just went through this pain) - MATCH will allow you to use 'TRUE' as its first parameter, but that only works when you use the ampersand syntax & to string together your criteria. For this asterisk and parentheses syntax, using the '1' as the first for 'true' is critical. Microsoft Office documentation is always SO hard to sift online, so thanks so much for this video.
Very nice I did not know you could use the & symbol. Beats the hell out if my ifs combined with xlookup
so much work
Anything with more than 10 letters must baffle you, isn't it?
Which Excel version is this
Nice & Neat Approach, Thanks for Sharing And thanks for the bonus tip 🤓
Thanks. Glad you like it. 😀
This worked but once you got the info copied how do you remove that formula without changing the data if you need to do other things? All the solutions I've found don't work or not working right. It should be as simple as clicking "remove all formulas" but I see no such option.
This is perfect!!!!! It was exactly what I needed. I found another tutorial to return Yes or No since that is what I needed instead of name or line number.
You're welcome. I'm glad this helped.
Thank you for this great video 📹
You're welcome. I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you so much bro, even after having alcohol I can’t able to sleep cause I was keep on searching for the solution. Your video helps me a lot to got the solution now I can sleep.
You're welcome. Glad the video helped so you could get some sleep. 😀
Amazing! Thanks.
Thanks. I hope it helped.
Awesome video 📹 👏 Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us :)
My pleasure. 😀
is there a way to make this more dynamic by referencing cells that have the word "Widget" or "Gadget" in it. Then you could change one of the cells to "DooDad" and change your filter criteria that way? I just don't like typing out "Widget" within the formula
Thanks for the question. This is definitely doable. For example, using the equation from the video, we could place “Gadget” in cell P2 and “Widget” in cell P3. Updating the equation with references to these cells instead of the hardcoded values gives us: =FILTER(B5:G24,((C5:C24=P5)+(C5:C24=P6))*(E5:E24>5000)*(F5:F24>3000),"No value") We can then change the value in cell P2 from “Gadget” to “Doodad” to update the filtered results. I hope this helps.
@@ExcelSmith this did! Thanks a lot!
That's great. Glad it helped. 😀
Great trick, thank you.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. 😀
Friggin awesome!
Thanks. 😀
Formula A only works if the table/range starts at A1, any other location will always return 0. Only Formula B correctly provides the last non-empty row regardless of where the range is placed withing the worksheet
Thanks for the comment. Formula B is definitely more flexible with regards to the data's location and structure.
