which returns calculated BMI based on a weight in G5 and height in F5. What is BMI? BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is a simple (and inexpensive) way to assess body fat based on height and weight only. BMI is a screening tool that can be used to identify individuals who are underweight, overweight, or obese. However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool. You can read more about BMI on the CDC website....
The data used to create this chart is shown below: How to make this chart At this point you can finalize the chart by setting the chart title, chart size, and font size for all text. Dave Bruns Hi - I’m Dave Bruns, and I run Exceljet with my wife, Lisa. Our goal is to help you work faster in Excel. We create short videos, and clear examples of formulas, functions, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and charts....
In the example shown, the formula in C5 is: Note: this is an array formula and must be entered with control + shift + enter. This text is passed into INDIRECT, which evaluates the text as a reference and returns the result to the ROW function. The ROW function returns the rows contained in the reference in an array of numbers like this: Notice we have one number for each letter in the original text....
The ADDRESS function takes five arguments: row, column, abs_num, a1, and sheet_text. Row and column are required, other arguments are optional. The abs_num argument controls whether the address returned is relative, mixed, or absolute, with a default value of 1 for absolute. The a1 argument is a Boolean that toggles between A1 and R1C1 style references with a default value of TRUE for A1 style references. Finally, the sheet_text argument is meant to hold a sheet name that will be prepended to the address....
Array constants are often used in array formulas to create or manipulate several values at once, rather than a single value. For example, the LARGE function can be used with an array constant like this to get the top 3 values in B3:B11: In many cases, formulas that use array constants do not require Ctrl+Shift+Enter, even though they are in fact array formulas. Multiple results When you provide an array constant to an Excel function as an argument, you will often receive more than one result in an array....
Convert Result to Degrees To convert the result from radians to degrees, multiply the result by 180/PI() or use the DEGREES function. For example, to convert the result of ASIN(0.5) to degrees, you can use either formula below: Explanation The graph of ASIN visualizes the output of the function from -1 to 1. ASIN is the inverse of SIN. However, because SIN is a periodic function, the output of ASIN is limited to the range from -π/2 to π/2....
NETWORKDAYS takes three arguments: start_date, end_date, and holidays. All three arguments must be valid Excel dates. Holidays are optional. To exclude holidays, provide a range of valid Excel dates for the holidays argument. Holidays are treated as non-working days and will not be included in the result. NETWORKDAYS includes both the start date and end date when calculating workdays. If you give NETWORKDAYS the same date for start date and end date, and the date is not a weekend or holiday, it will return 1....
A permutation is a combination where order matters. In other words, a permutation is an ordered combination. There are two types of permutations: The PERMUTATIONA function calculates permutations where repetitions are allowed. To calculate permutations where repetitions are not allowed, use the PERMUT function. Example To use PERMUTATIONA, specify the total number of items and “number_chosen”, which represents the number of items in each combination. For -example, to calculate 3-number permutations for the numbers 0-9, there are 10 numbers and 3 chosen, so the formula is: You can see this result in cell D8 in the example shown....

Standard deviation is a measure of how much variance there is in a set of numbers compared to the average (mean) of the numbers. The STDEVA function is meant to estimate standard deviation in a sample. If data represents an entire population, use the STDEVPA function. In the example shown, the formula in E5 is: Standard Deviation functions in Excel The table below summarizes the standard deviation functions provided by Excel....
The VALUETOTEXT function takes two arguments: value and format. Value is the value to convert to text. The format argument controls the structure of the output. By default, format is zero and VALUETOTEXT will output a “concise” format text value, essentially the normal format that Excel will use to display any text value. When format is set to 1 (strict format), text values will be enclosed in double quotes ("")....
In the example shown, the formula in C5 is: Working from the inside out, the original text in B5 is flooded with spaces using SUBSTITUTE: This replaces each single space with 99 spaces. Note: 99 is just an arbitrary number that represents the longest word you need to extract. Next, the FIND function locates the specific character (in this case, “@”) inside the flooded text: FIND returns the position of the “@” in this text, from which 50 is subtracted....
where data (B5:D15) and temp (C5:C16) are named ranges . SEQUENCE is configured to create an array of 3 rows x 1 column. The step value is -1, and the start number is defined by this snippet: Here we are counting temp values less than 75. Because the named range temp contains twelve values, the result is an array of 12 TRUE and FALSE values: The double negative (–) is used to coerce the TRUE and FALSE results to 1s and 0s, and the SUM function returns the total: This number is returned directly to SEQUENCE for the start value....
As the formula is copied down, the TEXT function extracts a month name from each date in column B. To extract the month name from a date as text, you can use the TEXT function with a custom number format like “mmmm”, or “mmm”. In the example shown, the formula in cell C4 is: The TEXT function converts values to text using the number format that you provide. Note that the date is lost in the conversion: only the text for the month name remains....
There are two primary ways to concatenate in Excel: In the article below, I’ll focus first on manual concatenation with the ampersand operator (&), since this should be your go-to solution for basic concatenation problems. Then I’ll introduce the three Excel functions dedicated to concatenation: CONCATENATE, CONCAT, and TEXTJOIN. These functions can make sense when you need to concatenate many values at the same time. As with so many things in Excel, the most important thing is to understand the basics first....
Let’s take a look. Here we have some examples of information we want to change. In the first example, we want to increase prices by 10%. Obviously, we could just add a new formula that multiplies the existing price times 1.1 in another column. Then use Paste Special to paste over the original prices. But how can we do this without all that busy work? One way is to use Paste Special....
For example, let’s say we use VLOOKUP to lookup the price for “green” in the data below. Which price will we get? Read on for the answer and more interesting examples. Notes: The examples below use named ranges (as noted in the images) to keep formulas simple. Function reference links: VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, and LOOKUP. Exact match = first When doing an exact match, you’ll always get the first match, period....
A Pareto chart plots the distribution of data in columns by frequency, sorted in descending order. A line showing cumulative percentage is plotted on a secondary axis. Starting with Excel 2016, the Pareto chart is a built-in chart type. In this worksheet, I’ve got a list of 100 reported issues classified by type. There are six types total, listed in column E. To plot this data in a Pareto chart, we first need a summary count by type....
