Sales overview in selected currency

When creating business reports, there is often a requirement that they should be displayed in multiple currencies, that is, the user can choose the currency in which a report is displayed. This can be achieved in several ways and one of them, very elegant, is with the help of the LAMBDA function. In this “recipe” you will find out how you can use it to display sales reports in different currencies.

Regular expressions

Regular expressions are a programming term that refers to a sequence of characters used to define a search criterion within a given text. Recently, Excel has gained several functions for working with regular expressions, and we can also use them as an argument to the XMATCH function and the XLOOKUP function as an additional search criterion.

TRIMGRANGE and a dot

The TRIMRANGE function allows you to remove blank rows or columns before, after, and before and after a set of values within a specified range of cells. It makes it easier to work with cells that are not empty, but recently there is a much simpler syntax for clearing a given range, which is by specifying a dot before the “:” symbol that separates the beginning and end of the range.

Function DGET

When you search a range of data, for example, by using the VLOOKUP function, the search is always performed by using a unique criterion. How to perform multiple searches or quickly change criteria? In the following text, you will learn about the DGET function, which allows for greater flexibility and easier finding of the required values in a given range.

Dynamic lists, the easy way

There are several ways to use the Data Validation option  to generate lists to select values when filling out tables. One of the earlier “recipes” was about how to create dynamic lists. With the advent of the TRIMRANGE function, this can now be done in an even simpler way, without having to use a Name Manager and write complicated formulas.
