  • Conditional Formatting
  • Data Validation
  • Finding Nulls: =ISBLANK(), or =COUNTBLANKS()
  • Data Duplicates
  • Descriptive Statistics: =AVERAGE(), MAX(), MIN(), MODE(), MEDIAN(), CORREL(), Using the Data Analysis ToolPak to find descriptive Statistics
  • Pivot Tables: To analyse data and find insights
  • Pivot Charts
  • Text Functions: =CONCAT(), =TEXTJOIN(), =LEFT(), =MID(), =RIGHT(), Text Splitting
  • Lookups: =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, array, col_index, FALSE-for exact match, TRUE-for approximate match)
    • VLOOKUP goes from LEFT to RIGHT, and if a new column is introduced then the col_index param changes and the lookup function breaks
    • XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, "Not in the list", 0-Exact Match)
    • XLOOKUP solves the limitations of VLOOKUP and is more efficient and is also referred to as VLOOKUP on steroids
    • INDEX MATCH - INDEX(array_to_be_returned, MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_array, 0 - exact Match))
  • IF/IFS - =IF(condition, true, false)
  • IFS - multiple conditions, AND()/OR()
  • SUMIF/SUMIFS: =SUMIF(sum_range, criteria)
  • COUNTIF()
  • AVERAGEIF()
