FACTDOUBLE Function

A double factorial is calculated differently for even and odd numbers. The double factorial for both zero and -1 are defined as 1. For numbers less than -1, a double factorial is not defined. FACTDOUBLE takes just oneargument,number, which should be a positive integer. Ifnumberis not an integer, the decimal portion ofnumberwill be removed before the factorial is calculated. For example, =FACT(3) returns 6, equivalent to 3 x 2 x 1....

Fill handle

Excel’s fill handle is a small rectangular control that appears whenever a cell or range of cells are selected. When the cursor is moved over the fill handle, it turns into a cross symbol, which can be dragged to fill in more cells. The behavior of the fill handle varies depending on the content of the cell or range selected: When an adjacent column contains values, double-clicking the fill handle will extend values down the worksheet to match, following the behaviors described above....

Filter and exclude columns

We also want to remove unnecessary columns to create a clean, uncluttered view. This is a useful technique for creating a simple dashboard report with a dynamic set of data. In addition, the source data can be located on a different worksheet. The first method uses the FILTER function to extract data of interest. This is the best approach when the logic needed to select important data is more complex....

Filter and sort without errors

Explanation A common situation in Excel is to use theSORT functionto sort results returned by theFILTER function. However, a formula based on the FILTER and SORT may return an error when no data is returned. Problem The formula below returns a #CALC! The first cell contains “No data” and the second cell is empty. The output from FILTER is dynamic. If source data or criteria change, FILTER will return a new set of results....

Filter and transpose horizontal to vertical

TheFILTER functioncan be used to extract data arranged vertically (in rows) or horizontally (in columns). FILTER will return the matching data in the same orientation. Semicolons (;) would indicate rows. FILTER returns this data in the original horizontal structure. Because FILTER is adynamic array function, the resultsspillinto the range B10:D15. If data indata(C4:L6) changes, the result from FILTER is automatically updated. The output from FILTER is dynamic. If source data or criteria change, FILTER will return a new set of results....

Filter by column, sort by row

Explanation Note: FILTER is a newdynamic arrayfunction inExcel 365. In other versions of Excel, there arealternatives, but they are more complex. In addition, the result should include the Group column, sorted in the same way. Typically FILTER is used to filter data vertically, selecting rows that match provided conditions. However, FILTER can also select data horizontally. In Boolean algebra,multiplication corresponds to AND logic, and addition corresponds to OR logic. In this case, we want FILTER to return the Group column and the matching year column....

Filter by date

Thearrayargument is provided as the named rangedata, which contains the full set of data without headers. Theincludeargument is constructed with the MONTH function: Here, MONTH receives the range C5:C15. Only rows where the result is TRUE make it into the final output. Theif_emptyargument is set to “No data” in case no matching data is found. The output from FILTER is dynamic. If source data or criteria change, FILTER will return a new set of results....

FILTER case-sensitive

Explanation This formula relies on the FILTER function to retrieve data based on alogical test. Thearrayargumentis provided as B5:D15, which contains all of the data without headers. If the two strings are exactly the same, EXACT returns TRUE. If the two strings are not exactly the same, EXACT returns FALSE. This array returned directly to the FILTER function as theincludeargument. Rows where the color is “Red” are not included. The output from FILTER is dynamic....
