Find Errors in Your Excel Formulas

https://youtu.be/KsOwcr-2CNQ

You’ve written formulas, thought it was all set and hit the Enter key and BAM! Excel gives you an error. Short formulas are easy to troubleshoot but long ones, especially when they reference multiple cells are a sometimes a pain to figure out. You could go through the formula look at this cell and that cell, clicking through it but there’s some tools in Excel that will help make it easier and keep you from smashing your head when you don’t know where that #Value error is coming from. Now, these tools show up in the most appropriate Ribbon tab called Formula. It’s the Evaluate formula and error checking commands and they will make your excel life easier.

Create Risk Assessment Chart - Google Sheets

Do you like risks? Most people would say No...as long as it’s a calculated risk. But do you know what is risky? Not identifying risks and putting some rating on them. This is especially true if you’re in an organization and project managing activities. Don’t be that guy or gal that does that. Let your people know what kind of risks may happen to your projects. What’s better is if you can categorize them too. Like with Low, Medium, and High. What you need is a risk assessment matrix and a nice free tool to create this is Google Sheets. I mentioned putting the Formula so here it is with the table row data starting in Row 9 and column C & D with respectively Priority and Impact headers: =IF(OR(AND(C9 = "Low", D9 = "Low"), AND(D9 = "Medium", C9 = "Low"), AND(C9 = "Medium", D9 = "Low")), "Low", IF(OR(AND(C9 = "Medium", D9 = "Medium"), AND(D9 = "High", C9 = "Low"), AND(C9 = "High", D9 = "Low")), "Medium", IF(OR(AND(C9 = "High", D9 = "High"), AND(D9 = "High", C9 = "Medium"), AND(C9 = "High", D9 = "Medium")), "High")))

Create a Dynamic Calendar in Excel

Maybe you’re putting together a dashboard and want to have a one-month view for your audience. Also, you want to give them the option of entering some date and the calendar dynamically shows that month or you’re throwing a party and you want to know when to plan it. You just like to have dates show up in a grid format just like how you’d see a printed calendar with the days of the week and what date falls on one of the most important days of the week Friday or Saturday. In this video I’ll show you how to create that dynamic calendar you always wanted. Also, you may also want to fool proof it by making sure whatever gets entered in the input cell is a date and not some text. I’ll show you how to do that with the data validation function near the end of the video. There are some neat things you can do with the SEQUENCE function, which is a dynamic array function available in Microsoft 365. I think it’s also available in Excel 2021 but check the web to make sure. If you’re into adding something that could wow your audience or boss, or you just like to make cool things in Excel, try creating this dynamic calendar on your own!
