Use Cases

Data Lookup & Matching

Use VLOOKUP or INDEX-MATCH to match data between tables—find employee names by ID, look up product prices by code, etc.

Conditional Summarization

Use SUMIFS/COUNTIFS/AVERAGEIFS to aggregate data with multiple conditions—calculate total sales by department and month.

Data Cleaning & Transformation

Use IF/IFS/SWITCH for conditional logic and classification, TEXT/LEFT/RIGHT/MID for text extraction and formatting.

Extended Knowledge

Excel formulas are the core capability of spreadsheets. Mastering common functions dramatically improves productivity. Start with basics (SUM/AVERAGE/IF), progress to lookup functions (VLOOKUP/INDEX-MATCH), then advance to array formulas and dynamic arrays (FILTER/SORT/UNIQUE). Google Sheets is highly compatible with Excel formulas, but some advanced functions like XLOOKUP are only available in the latest Excel versions.

FAQ

VLOOKUP vs INDEX-MATCH: which is better?â–Ľ
INDEX-MATCH is more flexible: supports leftward lookup, not limited by column index, and handles large data more efficiently. But VLOOKUP has simpler syntax for basic scenarios. Use VLOOKUP for simple lookups, INDEX-MATCH for complex matching.
How to handle formula errors?â–Ľ
Wrap error-prone formulas with IFERROR: =IFERROR(formula, "default value"). Common errors: #N/A means no match found, #REF! means invalid reference, #VALUE! means wrong parameter type.
Absolute vs relative references?â–Ľ
A1 is relative (changes when dragged), $A$1 is absolute (fixed), $A1 is column-absolute/row-relative, A$1 is column-relative/row-absolute. Press F4 to toggle between reference types.
Does it support Excel 365 new functions?â–Ľ
Supports select new functions like XLOOKUP, FILTER, SORT, UNIQUE, LET. These are only available in Excel 365 and Excel 2021+. Google Sheets may not fully support them.
Can I paste the formula directly into spreadsheets?â–Ľ
Yes. After clicking Copy, paste directly into an Excel or Google Sheets cell. Select the target cell first, then paste into the formula bar or directly into the cell.
