      it's impossible to download the file. When you press the download button, hubspot asks you to enter some info about your whatever but at the end of it when you complete filling & press the Submit button, nothing shows up & nothing happens. is that a clickbait to collect our phone numbers & email addresses?

    I love the versatility of pivot tables if I’ve been asked to present data analysis, however, I’ve been using excel a lot more to create simple “dashboards” where I can return data from a few sources based on the entry of a reference, pivot tables and slicers were never friendly for this (and to be fair it’s not what they were designed for) but I can see this functionality being really useful to me , thanks for the no nonsense explanation 👍 thanks to the algorithm too 🙌

  • @tngui79

    If you wanted an auto recalculation/refresh, just change your options to refresh upon source update. I wonder how long you would take to toggle between the design of data, adding and deleting of data rows, columns and filters. Is there a real replacement to pivot table? Seems like it would only work in a limited summary of information, not really for long tables of pivot data?

    Looks good and very clearly explained. Two questions:
    1. Presumably if you use Slicers on your table, GROUPBY only shows visible data?
    2. Given the result is a dynamic array, how do you format the results so they always show the same format regardless of how big the array ends up being? I only saw you manually format the cells based on the current size.

    • @anpham7108
      @anpham7108 4 дні тому +1

      2. No again, but you can use VBA.
      Just use Pivot Table

  • @SaiHikawa
    @SaiHikawa 10 днів тому

    I have a few questions... which one takes less file size, the groupby or pivot? Can we use a custom calculation for groupby? and lastly, do the cells adapt the format of the cell it takes over (i.e. cell shading, font, font color, etc.) or it changes it to default?

  • @DarkFizo
    @DarkFizo 2 місяці тому +4

    Doesn't look superior to pivot tables to be honest. You have to write entire formula to get same results you can have with few clicks. I might've missed something but the only difference I noticed are live updates vs clicking "refresh". Maybe I'll change my mind if I play with it a bit but right now I'm sceptical.

    One scenario.

    To find total average price of item in Pivot Table you can go & put function in Fields items & sets like =Value / Quantity.
    In new functions like Groupby or Pivotby can’t get it yet. Or I can’t get it up to now.

    Is this correct GROUPBY only works if you want to view one/two row fields (Headers) at a time. For example, I want to view data by region (example, London, Bristol, Yorkshire) then by Cost centre within region of London, Bristo, Yorkshire then by the clients within the Cost centres. If anyone knows your help will really be appreciated. Thanks

    this function looks great...will be glad when they FINALLY DO RELEASE it!!!

    =LET(header,PIVOTBY(Table13[[#All],[Country]],Table13[[#All],[Quarter]],Table13[[#All],[Sales]],SUM,,,,,,
    BYROW(Table13[Quarter],LAMBDA(a,AGGREGATE(3,5,a)))),
    IF(SEQUENCE(ROWS(header),COLUMNS(header))=1,"Country",header)) - filter by quarter🤗

      Because very few content creators mention this is in beta/preview for Microsoft 365 Office Insiders ONLY. When XLOOKUP was announced, it took a year before it was available. LAMBDA took two years. GROUPBY and PIVOTBY were announced back in November 2023, so you may see them both before years end. I'm to the point I'm going to downvote every video that doesn't mention preview at the beginning.
