    To create a spilled report with 2 or more calculations, use this:
    =GROUPBY(C3:C31,F3:F31,HSTACK(SUM,PERCENTOF),0)
    not the one I showed in video at 01:30:00 minute park.
    This trick comes from SoftwareTrain at UA-cam : )

      Yep! This was the first thing I rushed to check 2 days ago when MS activated this beauty for me, almost immediately after Mike's post :) :)
      Excel's fun must go on!
      VSTACK works as well and for some tasks is preferable since provides "relational" (record per row) form of data.
      btw, "Goal Seek" is here: Data/What-if... Alt, A, W, G

    You have a real talent, Mike, for making tough things seem easier. I love your recursive LAMBDA that removed extraneous characters in words in a dynamic array. It worked great, but instead of replacing the characters with a space and removing the spaces with TRIM(Text), I wanted to change it so I could replace the bad characters with a good one. For example, replace vowels in a list of words with an asterisk. I figured this would be a great exercise, and give me some practice debugging recursive formulas. What I came up with was
    ChangeChar(Text, Remove, Replace)=LAMBDA(Text,Remove,Replace, IF(Remove="", Text, ChangeChar( SUBSTITUTE(Text,LEFT(Remove),Replace), RIGHT(Remove,LEN(Remove)-1)))),
    and I added ChangeChar to my Name list. When I use the parts step-by-step outside the Lambda (in a table), it works fine. But when I run the Lambda I get an error that says I need three parameters. I already have three parameters! How can I debug this? How to debug a Recursive LAMBDA that is failing? Maybe a neat topic for a future tutorial!

    Nice coverage of LAMBDA's and the support functions. Is there a place I could go to enjoy more Excel fun and discussions.
    I will say that there was one point I disagree with. There is a way to test a recursive Lambda function without adding it to the Name Manager. Here is a simple example:
    =LET(Loop,LAMBDA(ME,x, IF(x < 2, 1, x + ME(ME, x - 1))), Loop(Loop, $C$8))
    The actual LAMBDA is but it illustrates the concept. By assigning the LAMBDA function to the Loop variable, the function at the end is able to call the Loop lambda.

    I allowed myself to retype this formula into:
    =LAMBDA(Date,"Q"&LOOKUP(MONTH(Date),FiscalQLookupTable))(U13:U23)
    and now any range can work with this lambda as long as it is a date

    sir, kindly give us an Excel formula I have an Excel 365 version, so kindly base my Excel 365 below mention -
    We own some assets that have been acquired in different financial years. There is a specific condition to be applied while calculating the depreciation of these assets. If an asset was procured before September, a depreciation rate of 15% will be applied. However, if it was acquired after September, a rate of 7.5% will be applied. For the initial purchase of an asset, we will apply the specified conditions accordingly. After the first year, a consistent depreciation rate of 15% will be applied for every annual procurement.

    • @excelisfun
      @excelisfun  10 місяців тому

      I think you can use the IF function to apply different rates based on dates and the MONTH function. Or a lookup function with a lookup table based on dates like XLOOKUP. If you post an example of the initial price of asset, and the first few depreciation amounts that are expected, I can figure out a formula.
