The removal of unusual characters from text fields Using zeros to pad integers Formatting a text string's numbers CHAPTER 4 Utilizing Formulas with Dates and Times Excel Date and Time Handling: An Understanding Acquiring knowledge about date serial numbers Select a Date System: 1900 Or 1904 Dates Entry Browsing for Dates knowledge of time serial numbers Entering times Manipulating times and dates Challenges with dates The leap year glitch in Excel Pre-1900 dates Dates that are inconsistent Using Excel's Date and Time Functions Getting the current date and time Calculating age Calculating the number of days between two dates Calculating the number of workdays between two dates Using NETWORKDAYS.INTL Generating a list of business days excluding holidays Extracting parts of a date Calculating the number of years and months between dates Converting dates to Julian date formats Calculating the percent of the year completed and remaining Returning the last date of a given month Using the EOMONTH function Calculating the calendar quarter for a date Calculating the fiscal quarter for a date Returning a fiscal month from a date Calculating the date of the Nth weekday of the month Calculating the date of the last weekday of the month Portioning out a time Calculating elapsed time Rounding time values Converting decimal hours, minutes, or seconds to a time Adding hours, minutes, or seconds to a time CHAPTER 5 CONDITIONAL ANALYSIS IMPLEMENTING FORMULAS Conditional Analysis: An Overview Verifying a straightforward condition is met Multiple conditions are being checked Confirming conditional data Looking up values Determining if both conditions 1 and 2 are satisfied functions for text manipulation Referring to logical conditions in cells Checking if Condition1 OR Condition2 are met Making conditional computations Summing greater than zero Adding up all figures that fall under two or more conditions Summing if values fall between a given date range Using SUMIFS Getting a count of values that meet a certain condition Counting values that satisfy two or more criteria SUMIFS for summing multiple conditions. finding unusual characters Getting the average of all numbers that meet a certain condition Getting the average of all numbers that meet two or more conditions CHAPTER 6 APPLICATION OF MATCHING AND LOOKUPS FORMULAS Explanation of Lookup Formulas Using the Lookup Functions in Excel Searching for a certain value using the left lookup column Searching for a certain value using any lookup column Looking up values horizontally Hiding errors returned by lookup functions The process of selecting the closest match from a list of banded values The INDEX and MATCH functions are used to find the closest match. Looking up values from multiple tables Looking up a value based on a two-way matrix Making use of default values to match Calculating a value based on certain criteria SUMPRODUCT is used to return text. How to determine a column's latest value Using LOOKUP, determining the final number CHAPTER 7 APPLICATION OF FORMULAS TO FINANCIAL ANALYSIS Making Regular Business Calculations Gross profit margin and gross profit margin percentage calculations Markup calculation Calculating EBIT and EBITDA Making a cost-of-sale calculation Goods Available for Sale Cost of Goods Sold Calculating the asset return How to calculate return on equity Calculating break-even Estimating customer churn Computing the churn rate annually The average client lifetime value calculation Calculating employee turnover Leveraging Excel's Financial Functions Converting interest rates Rate of Return on Investment Nominal Interest Rate Using FV to compute the effective rate The development of a loan payment calculator Creating an amortization schedule Creating a variable-rate mortgage amortization schedule Using dates instead of payment numbers Making an accelerated depreciation calculation Starting period The present value calculation Making a present-value calculation for future payments Calculating the net present value The calculation of both positive and negative cash flows Internal rate of return calculation Future non-periodic cash flows calculation Performing financial forecasting CHAPTER 8 APPLICATION OF FORMULAS IN STATISTICAL ANALYSIS Working with Weighted Averages Data Smoothing Using Moving Averages Exponential smoothing applied to volatile data How to Produce Descriptive Statistics Using Functions Obtaining either the biggest or least value Obtaining the Nth biggest or least value Calculating mean, median, and mode Data allocation into percentiles Interquartile Range for Statistical Outlier Identification Another helpful tool is Excel's QUARTILE function.
