Excel's Power BI

Hi all

This is worth a watch.. it's exactly what Excel needed - a powerful BI tool.. In terms of functionality, there's nothing that cannot already be done, but I liked the ability to merge identical CSVs from a directory.

Easier way to handle your formulae: Make them look like a programming code

If you don't know it already, you can write your formulae (the complex ones) in a way similar to one that programmers use to make their code more legible. It is particularly usefull when creating complex nested formulae (formula within formula), as well as the logical ones, like OR, AND and alike. Why? Well, it is very easy to get lost in long formula: Where is the beginning? What is condition? Where to put a parenthesis? Where did I make a mistake? etc.

Look at the following formula and try to figure out what it does:

=IF(DAY(AT$11)=1;INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN());TRUE);AVERAGE(INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN()-(DAY(AS$11)));TRUE):INDIRECT("Volumes!"&ADDRESS(ROW();COLUMN());TRUE)))

Same formula with indentations and explanations within

Excel "smart list": drop-down list dependent upon user's choice of another drop-down list

When data entry is strictly defined, it is nice to have data validation list in place, so entries are uniform. Furthermore, a nice way to make data entry faster is to have "smart lists", or dependant lists. What does this mean?

When you choose an option from drop-down list in a column, you need only possible options listed in another column, based on the first choice. Let's look at a simple example with dogs and cats.

Example file is attached.

Timesaver Tip: Calculate only selected range of cells

Sometimes, while working on large workbooks with many complex and slow formulas we set calculation to manulal instead of automatic. From time to time, one needs to calculate only a range of cells. However, pressing F9 (Calculate) calculates all cells, and that can often be time-consuming.

To calculate the selected range of cells only (and to save significant amount of time) when calculation is set to manual, select a range of cells and use a simple macro, like this:


Sub CalculateSelection()
Application.screenupdating = False ' speed up execution by preventing screen flickering
Selection.Calculate ' calculating selected cells
Application.screenupdating = True ' reverting to default settings
End Sub

Deleting Columns

Hi,

I often have to take a whole column in an excel sheet and move its content to another place in the worksheet.

Is there a formula or any other function to activate so that after I transfer the content of the column to its new place, the empty place will be deleted?

For example, I want to take column D, which is between C and E, cut it and paste it in column G and while I do that, the space that exists now between C and E will be deleted.

Is it possible?

Thank you
