    I've been looking for this for so long! So many videos about the new array functions but few about using the new dynamic arrays with more classic functions. Thank you!

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  2 роки тому

      Exactly!!!
      For me, Dynamic Arrays are not about the new functions, but that almost every other function has now had an upgrade.
      Even without the new functions, Dynamic Arrays would have been huge 😀

    Really good man. I very much liked the background information about implicit intersection. I now finally understand the control shift enter thing, never really knew what that was!

    Thank you for sharing this valuable information. I didn't know how many new tricks Excel brought along. Question, how come the sumifs formula doesn't give you the pound sign? I am mirroring your formulas in 365 and it was all similar except the pound sign.

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  3 роки тому

      Without seeing your screen, I'm not sure. Does it work correctly when you add/remove the # sign? That's the most important question.

    I knew about the new XLOOKUP function, but didn't fully understand the impacts of the new dynamic arrays - the implications of this change are pretty cool. Out of curiosity, is there any way that you've found to base the range of row numbers within the brackets in your VLOOKUP to be based off an alternate lookup? I've tried a few different options... even went with an Indirect of some sort, but it doesn't want to recognized the list. I can think of quite a few uses for that.

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  4 роки тому

      I'm glad it give you a good introduction into the changes to Excel.
      In terms of your question, I think you want to look at a VLOOKUP/MATCH or INDEX/MATCH/MATCH formula combination.
      I have a post about INDEX/MATCH/MATCH here:

      Trump Excel has a good post about VLOOKUP MATCH here:

      @@ExcelOffTheGrid Thanks. I'm familiar with the formulas, I was just excited at being able to pull multiple data elements for multiple lookups with a single formula and was looking for a way to designate the column references all in one shot. Great video, though - I'll be checking out the rest.

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  4 роки тому

      A part from using a constant array, like {1,2,3}, I think another function is the only option.

    Hello,
    How can I use # operator with Xlookup function, where the no. of rows in the data source can fluctuate from one instance to another? Can an example be provided regarding syntax?

    • @ExcelOffTheGrid
      @ExcelOffTheGrid  2 роки тому

      It depends on circumstance.
      Are the lookup_array and return_array arguments based on individual spill ranges, or one large single spill ranges?

  • @sandip_bettereveryday
    @sandip_bettereveryday 4 роки тому

    In older Excel suppose in any single cell we write =B2:B$6 and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and then we drag that cell below. What happens in the sixth cell down, is {=B$6:B7}
    Surprising, na? Why this happens? Is there any explanation?

      You can do F2# or {X,Y} in a VLOOKUP, but not both at the same time.
