Version History is a great feature that can be used by all Microsoft 365 subscribers who store files on a SharePoint or OneDrive repository. Storing files in the cloud brings a lot of benefits, one of which is the overview of all versions and the ability to restore a previous version of an Excel document that was worked on by one or more users.
Writing Excel formulas with the help of Name Manager can be a demanding job. When you write simple formulas, you will still somehow manage. With complex formulas or changing existing ones, there is a high chance that you will make a mistake. The LAMBDA feature allows you to create your own functions as names added in the Name Manager, and to make this job easier, Microsoft has created an Excel add-in for creating complex formulas: Advanced Formula Environment.
This is a logical function used as an argument by the LAMBDA function, and it aims to check if any of the arguments have been omitted. When using the LAMBDA function, it is mandatory to provide as many arguments as initially given. Since it returns the value TRUE or FALSE it is used in combination with the IF function in the part of the LAMBDA function where it is necessary to specify the value it returns.
The BYROW and BYCOL functions are used to perform a calculation given by a LAMBDA function that uses only one argument for a given row or column. This, in a way, distinguishes them from the function mentioned in the previous post. Both functions work in a similar way. They differ only in whether they retrieve the data needed for the calculation from the row or column.
MAKEARRAY allows you to easily generate an array (range) of values. The first two arguments are the number of rows and columns, and further should specify the expression within which the calculation is performed using the LAMBDA function. This function is also dynamic in nature because it does not return a single value but a range in accordance with the given dimensions.
