1. Jump to a Target Cell in Two Ways (without Manually Shifting Sheets/without Scrolling)
Imagine you are working between two sheets, here is the situation: You Shift between worksheets (you may need to use the horizontal arrows to move across sheet tabs) Scroll (vertically, horizontally) to the desired cell Check something, write a Formula or edit the content of the cell Return to previous cell in the previous sheet. All would be ok but the screen is not where you want, you need to do a finding-cell work each time you move intuitively across your spreadsheet
Imagine an Excel Tip that allows you to jump to the target cell instead of scrolling and shifting sheets. No, you dont need to use Named Ranges for each set of cells worth visiting. Heres how to navigate between sheets and books very easily Method 1: Jump to target cell with Go to dialog (F5):
How to
1. Select the cell at which you want to return, for example A1 2. Press F5 to launch the Go to dialog 3. Type the desired cell reference in Reference: box to jump to it; for example B35 4. You have marked A1 in the Go to pane for the current session 5. Press F5 from anywhere and double click on the desired cell that is already listed on the pane

2. Get Oriented about Meaning of Named Ranges as You Write Formulas (Excel 2007)
Constants and names (Named Ranges) had been subjectively defined in previous versions of Excel; now you can set the meaning explicitly and read this description as you write Formulas. How do you do this? It is very easy: define the name and introduce a description. Formula Autocomplete will show the message at the cell or Formula bar while you write. Heres how First you need to define a name with a description, proceed this way
How to
1. Go to Formulas>Defined names>Define name 2. Enter the named range Name: 3. Set the Scope: 4. Write the Comment 5. Specify the reference or value in the Refers to: box 6. Ok

4. Sum Numbers-Stored-as-Texts
SUM function does not convert numbers-stored-as-texts to numbers. See graphic below A3 is 1 stored as text The Formula in A4 is =SUM(A1:A3) The result is 2 (A3 was not considered)
Now, see the result of the Formula C4, it is correct. How do you do it? Heres how
How to
1. Write the Formula in C4: = F1+F2+F3 instead of =SUM(F1:F3)
Avoid mistakes Dont use long Formulas like: =A1+A2+A3+A4+ Use this tip for check SUM Formulas only.

5. Copy Formulas Down Automatically in Calculated Columns (Excel 2007)

When do you use Formulas in tables? When you employ helper columns and need consistency and completeness of the Formula in the entire column When you have a calculated column in general
Copying Formulas down in a table presents two main problems: It is tedious to drag the Formula, especially in tables with hundreds/thousands of rows (you can double click fill handle to automatically fill Formulas down but they stop at blanks or you may forget to do it) It is difficult to remember you need to copy a modified Formula to the entire column
A calculated column with an undetected orphan Formula in the middle is the worst thing. Fortunately, Excel 2007 offers a Formula auto filling option. Proceed this way
How to
1. Activate options Formula auto fill. Go to Office Button>Excel Options>Proofing>Autocorrect Options>Autoformat As You Type>Fill Formulas in tables to create calculated columns (this option is activated by default) 2. Convert the range into a table (CTRL+T) 3. Write the Formula in the calculated column 4. Enter (Excel 2007 automatically fill up/down the Formula to the entire column)

6. Convert a Number/Date-Stored-as-Text to Number/Date before LOOKUP

Imagine you want to look up the cell A2 in any given table array; the cell contains a number/date in form of text. Avoid imminent #N/A error by converting the cell before lookup; do it this way
How to
1. Write VLOOKUP Formula 2. Add 0 to the lookup_value argument this way: =VLOOKUP(A2+0 3. Complete the Formula: =VLOOKUP(A2+0,Haystack!$A$2:$C$12,2,0)
Catapult your skills and productivity with Excel Tips
17 | P a g e
7. Avoid Array Formulas by Using Helper Columns

Array Formulas are a big deal but you may not be proficient with them. If you want to keep away until you learn, use a workaround called Helper Columns. What a Helper Column is? It is an additional column that serves as a criteria column, you can evaluate as many conditions as you want and reduce them to a single value. You can use: CONCATENATE function to combine two or more columns into a single one, for example: City and Name into "ChicagoSusan Wilson" Logical Functions: IF, AND, OR to reduce criteria of multiple columns to TRUE/FALSE or any other single value, for example: =AND(A2="Susan Wilson",C2>1000,C2<=10000) returns TRUE/FALSE
Well, where do you use Array Formulas most? You use AF when you need to create multiple versions of SUMIF, COUNTIF, and VLOOKUP. These functions have something in common, they cannot evaluate conditions like: between, and, or, etc. See their syntaxes below and recognize the unique-criteria-arguments (bold ones) that will contain a value that represents multiple criteria, for example: ChicagoSusan Wilson, TRUE, FALSE, etc.
SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range) COUNTIF(range,criteria)
VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)
Hopefully Excel 2007 added SUMIFS, COUNTIS functions that eradicate this old problem. But Array Formulas are still needed for example to create VLOOKUP multiple, VLOOKUP case sensitive, etc. Heres how to set a HC for multiple VLOOKUP
18 | P a g e
How to
At the Backend 1. Add a column to the left 2. Write a Formula that evaluates conditions in two or more columns. Use: CONCATENATE, &, IF, AND, OR, a combination of them. For this case: =CONCATENATE(B2,C2) At the Frontend 3. The Formula is done: =VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE(Susan Wilson,1526),Heystack!$A$2:$F$12,6,0) you can use "Susan Wilson"&"1526" for the lookup_value too
Step 1, 2
19 | P a g e
8. Use Hidden Constants in Calculated Columns

Avoid columns with repeated quantities; for example, the % column below is obtained from dividing the Rank by 1,000,000 (Number of sites). Notice that you have not created a Total pages column with 1 million repeated.
How do you do it?
How to
1. Go to Formulas>Defined names>Define name 2. Specify the Name (without spaces) 3. Set the Scope: Workbook or on a Sheet basis 4. Specify the value of the constant in Refers to: 5. Ok
20 | P a g e
21 Underground Excel Tips Volume 1 After that, insert the constant by using Paste name dialog (F3) or through Formula Autocomplete. Read the article: Excel Formulas - How to Store Constants in a Central Location with Excel Names
21 | P a g e
9. Add Comments Inside Formulas

This workaround consists in adding a note to a Formula (essentially adding 0) this way: =FORMULA + N(Notes here). N function converts any item to its value, for example: =N(TRUE) is equal to 1 =N(Any text) is equal to 0
This method could be better than Cell Comments because the notes remain inside the Formula and can be seen while debugging.
How to
1. Go to the end of any given Formula. For example: =SUBTOTAL(109,A1:A13) 2. Sum the note: + N("Quarter 4 not included"). Essentially you are adding 0 to a Formula 3. Enter. Your Formula will be something like this: =SUBTOTAL(109,A1:A13)+N("Quarter 4 not included")
Amaze yourself ... and others with Excel Tips
22 | P a g e
10.
Clean Text before LOOKUP
Texts are the most common lookup data in Excel, sometimes you receive a #N/A error due to non-matching values; use this tip when the problem is at the frontend.
How to
1. Write the VLOOKUP Formula and specify the lookup_value 2. Delete leading/trailing/inter-word spaces with TRIM function: TRIM(A2). Clean remaining non-printing characters with CLEAN function. CLEAN(TRIM(A2)) 3. Complete the Formula: =VLOOKUP(CLEAN(TRIM(A2)),G5:H28,4,0). 4. Enter

Use Named Ranges for Printing,
Formatting and More

Named ranges elicit Formulas but you can exploit this feature to boost your productivity when formatting, printing and other relevant tasks. Having a quick way to do these tasks helps a lot. You can Set printing areas (you can name irregular arrays) Apply format. The fact is that you apply format to well-known areas of your sheet, for example: headings, data, etc. Calculate subtotals (SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, MAX, MIN, etc) about selected data with an eyeball at the status bar And more
The quickest way to define names is this way
How to
1. Select the range to name 2. Go to Name box at the left of the Formula Bar 3. Specify the Name (without spaces) 4. Enter
Now use names; for example, to print
How to
1. Select cells by going to Name Box and choose the name from the list 2. Go to Page Layout>Print Area>Set Print Area 3. Click

Filter by the Selected Cell
Excel 2007 added the feature to filter table fields by the selected cell. What does this mean? Focus on analyzing data instead of defining filter criteria each time. This quick filter method is ideal for selecting categories, for example: cities, products, subjects, suppliers, etc. You can filter by: Cell's value Cell's color Cells font color Cell's icon
How to
1. Select the cell on which you want to apply the filter or right click directly on it 2. Go to: Filter>Filter by Selected Cells value 3. Click

Sum/Count/Average only Visible Rows with
SUBTOTAL Function
Hidden rows are not excluded in SUM/COUNT/AVERAGE/MAX/MIN functions; what does this mean? Your results may appear greater, distorted, etc. See result of B8 Formula =SUM(B2:B7); it is 78,921 instead of 54,521
How to avoid this situation? Use SUBTOTAL function Excel 2007 users
How to
1. Write SUBTOTAL function 2. Specify function_num as 109. 101 to 111 options ignore values of rows hidden by the Hide Rows Command. 3. Complete the Formula: =SUBTOTAL(109,B2:B7) 4. Enter

Check VLOOKUP Formula for #NA Error
without Slowing Down Computations (Excel 2007)

You can see across forums that the way to trap the #N/A error in VLOOKUP Formulas is this way: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$H$18:$I$21,2,FALSE)), "Not found",VLOOKUP(A2,$H$18:$I$21,2,FALSE)) This Formula calls VLOOKUP twice, this means double processing. Avoid losing time when you work with intensive computing spreadsheets. Use IFERROR instead
How to
1. Embed the VLOOKUP Formula into an IFERROR function. The syntax is IFERROR(value,value_if_error). The Formula is done: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,$H$18:$I$21,2,FALSE),"Not Found") 2. Enter
