TRUNC Function

For example, TRUNC(4.9) will return 4, and TRUNC(-3.5) will return -3. The TRUNC function does no rounding, it simply truncates as specified. The TRUNC function takes twoarguments:numberandnum_digits.Numberis the numeric value to truncate. Thenum_digitsargument is optional and specifies the place at whichnumbershould be truncated.Num_digitsdefaults to zero (0). However, TRUNC simply truncates a number, while INT actually rounds a number down to an integer. With negative numbers, the results can be different....

Two-way approximate match multiple criteria

Feed rate values are in the named rangedata(D6:H16). This can be done with a two-way INDEX and MATCH formula. TheINDEX functionreturns the final result. In the example shown, the formula in K8 is: (Line breaks added for readability only). The tricky bit is that material and hardness need to be handled together. We can do this with the IF function. Essentially, we use IF to “throw away” irrelevant values before we look for a match....

Two-way lookup with INDEX and MATCH approximate

Here we have a simple cost calculator which looks up cost based on a material’s width and height. The match needs to be approximate. If the width is 450, and the height stays at 325, the correct result is $3,600. We can build a formula that does this lookup using INDEX and MATCH. First, let’s getINDEXworking as a proof-of-concept by hard-coding part of the formula. This is a great way to verify you have the right idea before you dive in....

Two-way summary count

A simple way to do this is with the COUNTIFS function. COUNTIFS function TheCOUNTIFS functionis designed to count things based on more than one condition. Forcriteria1, we use themixed reference$F5. Cell F5 contains the value “Engineering”, which will be used for criteria. We leave the row relative because we want the row to change as we copy the formula down. Forcriteria2, we use themixed referenceG$4. Cell G4 contains the value “A”, which will be used for criteria....

Two-way summary with dynamic arrays

This worksheet contains several hundred rows of sample order data in anExcel Tablecalled “data”. I’ll first build a pivot table to summarize this data by Color and Region. I’ll keep the pivot table on the same sheet. I’ll also set Total to display currency. Finally, I’ll turn off Grand Totals, and disable Auto-Fit, to keep things from moving around. As always, a pivot table like this is very quick and easy to build....

Two-way summary with SUMIFS

Explanation TheSUMIFS functionis designed to sum numeric values using multiple criteria. This allows the formula to change as needed when the formula is copied throughout the table. With both criteria together, the SUMIFS function correctly sums the opportunities by name and by stage. Without names ranges This example uses named ranges for convenience only. Note: apivot tablewould also be an excellent way to solve this problem.
