Learning Excel? There may be times when you want to “hide” the text in a cell. Don’t make the font white! Do this instead... There is a way you can actually hide the text using custom number formatting. Remember, custom formats can contain up to 4 conditions, separated by semicolons (A;B;C;D) A: Format for positive numbers B: Format for negative numbers C: Format for zeros D: Format for text But what if the format for all of these is left blank? --> ;;; You get “invisible” values! A custom number format of three consecutive semicolons keeps the underlying value in a cell but prevents it from displaying. PRO TIP: Use this with conditional formatting color scales to create heatmaps! #mavenquicktips #excel #data #analytics #businessintelligence #careers

Some Useful EXCEL Data Cleaning Functions ISBLANK: This is a logical function that tests whether a cell is blank. E.g. ISBLANK(A1) will return TRUE if A1 is empty. A cell containing a space may appear to be empty but is recognized as containing a character by Excel. TEXT: This is a function that returns a number in a specified number format and returns text in a specified text format. E.g. if J1 contains a date recognized by Excel, TEXT(J1, "mmmm") will return the full name of the month. DATE: This function can be used to combine three values to form a date that Excel recognizes. TRIM: Removes leading, trailing, and extra spaces. TRIM will remove double spaces between words but won't remove single spaces. CLEAN: This is a function that removes some, but not all, of the non-printing characters. The CLEAN function removes the first 32 non-printing characters from the ASCII code (those with decimal values 0 to 31). ISNUMBER: This is a logical function that returns TRUE if the argument is numeric. ISTEXT: This is the text analogue of ISNUMBER. LEN: This is a function that returns the number of characters contained in a cell including those that aren't visible. CODE: This is a function that takes a character as an argument and converts it to its decimal equivalent (ASCII value). SUBSTITUTE: This is the function equivalent of Find and Replace. CHAR: This function is the opposite of CODE - this takes a decimal value and returns the character it represents. VALUE: This function turns text into numeric values. This can only be applied to text that contains numbers. If there are any other characters, the function doesn't work. #excel #datacleaning #excelfunctions #dataanalytics

Repost - Others: "you can´t make interactive #data #visualization in #Excel like in..." Me: Oh really? let's check Excel's new function RANDARRAY with a jittered boxplot + some rhythmic Brazilian Housy vibes! Visualized distributions can lead to useful insights for decision making. Some prefer jittering others prefer box plots, but how about the two charts in 1 with the option of switching on or off either of the two charts? With Dynamic Arrays, we can go a step further and make it interactive. In the example below with pivot table slicers and form controls you can: - Filter the job level categories, i.e., just show to 2 or 3 or more! - Adjust the jitter width. - Show and/or switch between median or average line. - Show or not the quartiles boxes along with whiskers lines. - Show or not the jittered dots. - Highlight one dot in orange to compare that one specific point against the rest. - Sort the axis of the graph by metric and in either ascending or descending order. As always, you can download the Excel file from the video below at 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXvVAe4Y on section: 034 Contextual Jitters track id: Anane - Terra Longe (Louie Vega Roots Mix) Finally: Long Live #Excel & let's boogie, life is short.

Many Excel users are yet to discover its versatility and I am no exception. Until recently, I thought Excel was just a tool for simple data input and basic mathematical operations. TechskillExcel boot camp kicked off last week, introducing me to how I can efficiently use the v Paste Special Command: Transforming data by pasting formulas allows me to replicate calculations across cells and data sets. Pasting values only by eliminating unwanted formulas data sets. Pasting format and transposing given data set by seamlessly switching from its portrait state to a landscape state. v Basic and conditional formatting: Basic Formatting: Adding borders to define sections and enhance the visual structure Adjusting font size, changing font style and colors for readability and visual appeal Adding background color to the dataset to highlight key data. Conditional Formatting: Using the highlights rules to recognize trends and patterns Identifying outliers This illustration is just a fraction of Excel’s capabilities as we unlock its features individually. As a health analytics enthusiast, I understand that the knowledge garnered so far can be leveraged to transform and convey complex data insights for easy understanding and foster informed decision-making. I am excited to explore more advanced Excel techniques! Looking forward to sharing more of the knowledge garnered from subsequent lessons.  Thanks for staying tuned. #MicrosoftExcel #DataAnalysis #HealthAnalytics#  #TechSkillHack #ProductivityHacks

Excel doesn't look the same as it did when we started our career. Old formulas: SEARCH, VLOOKUP, MID, LEFT, RIGHT, Text to Columns (that one isn't a formula, but it is now!) ✨New formulas: → TEXTBEFORE/TEXTAFTER - Return text before/after delimiting characters YOU CHOOSE! → XLOOKUP - Find and retrieve data from a range or array → TEXTSPLIT - Split text into rows or columns using delimiting characters YOU CHOOSE! → FILTER - Filter a range with criteria you choose → TOCOL/TOROW - Return an array as one row/column Embrace the evolution!
