Yesterday, in episode 1733, it required two MATCH and one INDEX to merge the data from two worksheets. Today, using PowerPivot in Excel 2010, another way to find the price for each customer/item combination. While PowerPivot is supposed to make life easier, this method still requires two concatenation formulas, two Ctrl+T, two Add Linked Table, one drag from Key to Key, then one RELATED function and an application of Mike Alexander's trick from my episode 493. Which is easier? 1733 or 1734? Make your note in the comments below.

Touma sends in what should be an easy question. Sheet1 contains customer, item, and quantity sold. Sheet2 is a price list with unique prices per customer name. I could have solved this with PowerPivot or with a two-way lookup. As I started to do the lookup, though, I discovered that the sales database include a lot of items that are not in the pricing table. Some are simple misspellings, but others are simply missing. This is representative of real life - the pricing manager's data doesn't match the sales data.

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 Girvin's new Ctrl + Shift + Enter book, I ran across this awesome one-formula trick using Matrix Multiplication and the MMULT function.

Back to 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 I can not find a regular Excel formula that would 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 won't detect hidden columns. So, in today's episode, a tiny UDF function that looks for a substring, then checks to see if the row and column are visible.

Felix asks for a Formula to Count the Cells that with a particular string, such as All Cells with the letter E? In Episode #1728, Bill shows us how to use COUNTIF with a Wildcard to Count the Cells or FIND and IFERROR in Conditional Formatting to highlight the Cells. ...This blog is the video podcast companion to the book, Learn Excel 2007 through Excel 2010 from MrExcel.
