Sales volume in relation to a given target can be shown by a goal achievement chart. There is another way to do this, and that is to display real sales values instead of moving the intersections of the x and y axes, using a Combo chart in which the target would be a horizontal line based on the data in the table. Also, by adding the Spin Button control, we will be able to change a goal easily, which leads to the dynamic chart.
The definition of fractals is quite extensive, so I will reduce it to a short interpretation that they represent images, created from repetitive patterns, and their representation is calculated by applying certain mathematical equations. Since I make an Excel greeting card almost every year and create a “recipe for drawing a Christmas tree” I will not deviate from tradition. We will “draw” the Christmas tree with the help of one simple fractal.
A few years ago, I attended a panel discussion on whether artificial intelligence will be able to replace humans when it comes to creative writing. Some participants claimed yes, others no, and my position is that it is not so much who will write and how, but who will such materials. Gloomy vision, isn’t it? In this text, I will show you how to fill in the pre-prepared text with your own values and thus create fake news using the SUBSTITUTE function.
Here’s a fun topic! At the same time, this is a good opportunity to practice working with the LOOKUP function. Although, these days, people are talking much more about the XLOOKUP function I don’t see why, in this situation, we wouldn’t use its “older cousin”. Task: determine the zodiac sign of the person whose birthday is on the given date. This is achieved by searching the table that contains the range of dates that determine zodiac signs.
In the “recipe” Simple sales analysis, you could learn how to get to the value that is in the intersection of the row and column of the sales report. On that occasion, we used the INDEX and MATCH functions. The new XLOOKUP function allows this analysis to be performed in a much simpler way, by combining two instances of this function. Let’s see how it’s done!
