Join text in Excel, without CONCATENATE
Often you want to join together text in cells together in Excel or join it to custom text. In this video I show you various ways to acheive it including adding text, adding text to numbers/dates or using a SUM like function to create a comma delimited list in a single cell, and then a SUMIFS version and how to ignore duplicates.

Budget vs actuals chart in Excel with variance
Просмотров 50721 день назад
There is no built-in chart for budget vs actuals in Excel, but the need is so very obvious. With these hacks you can make it happen by creating a combo chart, making the line be no line and just markers then adding data labels of the variance by each budget amount. I also show how to make any chart auto expand in Excel using Format as Table. You can download the example files here: www.xlconsul...
Structured tables for Google Sheets
Просмотров 2,4 тыс.Месяц назад
Google Sheets' Tables make data far more structured and more like database type data. You can assign data types to each column, use structured references on entire column, they automatically expand with formulas, data validation and more. Change your data inputs into Tables and Google Sheets will work much better. Create better tables in Google Sheets: ruclips.net/video/UQG54xTTPZ8/видео.html A...
REGEX in Excel and Google Sheets to fix messy text

I now want a similarity score for address in system A vs. address in system B. Do you know if there are similar functions to do something like this? I could transform the rows to columns but that would try to match every single value to all, also to those not from the same customer.

CALCULATE([Years on Throne]),ALL('English Monarchs')) 2:20- Numerator divided by Denominator. DIVIDE([Years on Throne],CALCULATE([Years on Throne]),ALL('English Monarchs')))*100 3:40- another way that will work with filters better.

I would like to combine individual collections into a group. IE TRAVEL Sub collection, Germany, Poland, Iceland etc. Is there a way to do this?

    First cell and linking works but after I try to connect another sheet right below the cell that is working, the sheet that is working fails and it says. "Array result was not expanded because it would overwrite data"

    • @learnspreadsheets
      @learnspreadsheets 25 дней назад

      That message comes up when you have existing data in cells below or to the right, and the cell range you are asking for will overwrite that. e.g. You have data in cell B6 and you want to bring in data into cell B1 but the data you want to bring in is over 6 rows high. Try in a blank worksheet and you won't get that issue

Today we only have data in cells A1 to F200 in file A, but because we made the link to the range A1:H500, when new rows or columns are added then the data will automatically populate in File B

    • @learnspreadsheets
      @learnspreadsheets Месяц назад

      I understand where you're coming from, but VLOOKUP was always flawed (cannot look back, breaks if columns are moved around etc.) which was why for decades, people were using the horribly complicated INDEX MATCH combination to make it more robust. XLOOKUP (which is also easier to use than VLOOKUP) is an improvement, and the other aspects I show can do other things VLOOKUP can't are also useful in certain cases.
