MrExcel East — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 19:15:01 +0000

Bill says; “The Classic Formula for a Multiplication Table is =$A2*B$1 which is a great way to teach people about Mixed References. However, while reading Mike “ExcelisFun” Girvin’s New Book, “Ctrl + Shift + Enter”, I ran across this Awesome One-Formula trick using Matrix Multiplication and the MMULT Function.” Follow along with Episode #1732 as Bill shows us the MMULT Function in action!

Array Formulas are a powerful tool in Excel. An Array Formula works with a series of Data Values instead of a single Value.

Learn Excel – “Count Visible Cells Matching Criteria”: Podcast #1731

MrExcel East — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 13:34:25 +0000

Back in Episode #1728, Felix asked about counting Cells that contain a certain Substring. It turns out that he wanted to count only the Visible Cells. This is possible with VBA, but Bill cannot find a regular Excel Formula that will do it. AGGREGATE would offer some hope, but that Function won’t accept Arrays for the first 14 Functions, of which, COUNT is one. Plus, AGGREGATE will not detect Hidden Columns. So, today, in Episode #1731, a tiny UDF [User Defined Function] that looks for a Substring, then checks to see if the Row and Column are Visible.
