New for Office 365 customers, one single formula sitting in one single cell can return many results. Those extra results will spill into adjacent cells. This is a major change to the calculation engine in Excel. This book covers the new functions added for Dynamic Arrays: SORT, SORTBY, FILTER, UNIQUE, SEQUENCE and RANDARRAY. It shows how Dynamic Arrays make the new XLOOKUP even more powerful. Dynamic arrays make every Excel calculation function more powerful. Pass a SEQUENCE to another function and Excel will Lift the function to return many results. Learn how to use the new # and @ operators in your formulas. After fifteen months of preview, the Dynamic Arrays are reaching general availability. Learn how the FastExcel SpeedTools add-in offers much-needed improvements, such as TOTALS, SLICES, VSTACK and UNPIVOT. Join in lobbying the Excel team to incorporate these improvements.
