Many years ago I worked for ECOFINANCE company where, at my time, I wrote an Excel invoicing application. It seems to me that it was quite easy to use. Partly because it was enough to enter part of the name of the code or product to find the desired item. The seller would then only select the quantity and packaging and could quickly continue to enter items until the document is completed. Today this can be achieved much easier, without any VBA programming …
The Funnel chart is not a great novelty. In one of the earlier posts there were words about how to graphically represent the sales funnel, and what’s new is that this chart, that previously existed only in Office365 and Office Online editions, became part of Excel 2019. The Funnel chart is most useful when we want to display values (quantities, amounts) in relation to a certain business phase, and how to do it will be shown in the following scenario.
Excel that comes with Office365 brings two new logical functions: IFS and SWITCH. The first of them consists of a number of conditions, and returns the selected value after the first fulfilled condition. The other starts with a condition, and then, depending on the values that meet the requirement returns appropriate value. Sometimes these functions can be very useful, and how to use them I’ll show in following recipe.
One of the updates of the Office365 package, within Excel 2016, has brought functions for conditional aggregation of data that find the minimum or maximum values of the range depending on the given conditions. These are the functions MINIFS and MAXIFS, and in the following text I will show you how to use such functions.
Newer versions of Excel no longer support the document sharing option I have written in one of the earlier texts. It can still be used after manually adding to the quick menu or toolbar, but collaborating on documents has evolved into co-authoring. This means that the documents are saved on the OneDrive repository, and that the right-hand users can change them at the same time.
