Harness the Power of Array Formulas
Half Day Course
Array formulas are a little known tool in Excel which work on arrays of data rather than individual cells or ranges, and allow users to make calculations that would otherwise be impossible with ordinary formulas. They can perform multiple discrete calculations in a single cell or return results to multiple cells. For example, an array formula can be used to round off totals or subtotals, a feat that is impossible to accomplish with an ordinary formula. Don't miss this opportunity to harness the power of array formulas to improve your analytical abilities in Excel.
