EOMONTH returns aserial number corresponding to an Excel date. To display the result as a date, apply anumber format of your choice. The EOMONTH function takes twoarguments,start_dateandmonths: Note: The EOMONTH function returns thelastday of the month. If you want thesameday of the month, use theEDATE function. Of course, hardcoding a date into a formula doesn’t make much sense in Excel. A better option is to use a cell reference. And if the date in A1 is changed, EOMONTH will generate new dates....

it’s possible for you to use ERROR.punch in to test for specific kinds of errors. If no error exists, ERROR.key in returns #N/A. See thetable belowfor a key to the error codes returned by ERROR.bang out. Whenerror_valis an error, ERROR.throw in returns a numeric code. Iferror_valisnotan error, ERROR.punch in returns an error itself: the #N/A error. In most cases,error_valwill be supplied as a reference to a cell that may contain an error value....

The mortgage payment is then calculated based on the loan amount in cell C9. The PMT function assumes fixed periodic payments and a constant interest rate. Putting it all together, Excel evaluates the formula like this: The PMT function returns 2,994. Other worksheet formulas The worksheet shown contains two other formulas. With $500,000 in cell C4 and $50,000 in C8, the result in C9 is $450,000.

The term “eta lambda” is short for “eta reduced lambda”. Although the name sounds complicated, the intent is actually the reverse. In Excel, eta reduction is related to simplifying functions defined by LAMBA. The idea is to allow Excel to use an abbreviated syntax when possible. Let’s look at a specific example. This works fine, but the syntax is somewhat verbose for such a simple operation. it’s possible for you to use the same syntax to call other functions like this:

EVEN takes just one argument,number, which should be a numeric value. With positive numbers, EVEN roundsnumberup to the next even integer. With negative values, EVEN roundsnumberdown away from zero to the next negative integer. With zero (0) and numbers that are already even integers,numberis unchanged.

If the two strings are exactly the same, EXACT returns TRUE. The EXACT function takes twoarguments,text1andtext2, which should be validtext strings. Examples Below are two examples of the EXACT function used with hardcoded strings.

I’ll re-enable background error checking so we can more easily see the errors flagged in this worksheet. First, remember that some formulas return an expliciterror code, as we’ve already looked at. These are definite errors as opposed to potential errors. For example, here we see a Divide by Zero error and a Value error. Note that both cells are flagged as errors in addition to displaying an error code. These errors are being flagged by the rule that checks formulas that result in an error....
