Q&A

How can I generate sequential numbers in Excel?

You can use the sequence formula to generate a list of sequential numbers. Enter the formula '=SEQUENCE(rows)' and adjust the number of rows as needed.

What are some examples of date functions in Excel?

Some examples of date functions in Excel include TODAY(), WEEKDAY(), and WEEKNUM(). These functions allow you to perform calculations and manipulations with dates.

How do if statements work in Excel?

If statements in Excel allow you to perform different actions based on a specified condition. The syntax is '=IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)'. If the logical test is true, it will return the value_if_true, otherwise it will return the value_if_false.

What is the difference between sumifs and sumif?

The SUMIF function allows you to sum values based on a single condition, while the SUMIFS function allows you to sum values based on multiple conditions. Use SUMIF when you have a single criterion and SUMIFS when you have multiple criteria.

How does index match work in Excel?

Index Match is an advanced lookup formula that allows you to find a value in a table based on specific criteria. It combines the INDEX and MATCH functions. The syntax is '=INDEX(range, MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_range, match_type))'.
