商品描述

Understand the power of dynamic arrays: a single formula can generate new and vastly more efficient spreadsheet possibilities. This book introduces spreadsheet users to dynamic array functions in Microsoft Excel 365, defines and details the distinctive ways in which they work, and shows how they can be applied to a wide swath of data-analytic tasks.

While array formulas and functions have long held a place in the spreadsheet toolbox (although, for many of us, shunted to an obscure corner), the dynamic array engine offers a more user-friendly and intelligible set of means for manipulating spreadsheet data in the array mode. The single-formula, multi-cell capability of dynamic arrays has been extended to nearly all existing spreadsheet functions, offering a new, default way of working. As a result, many tasks can now be executed with dynamic arrays without having to resort to the new functions at all.

After defining arrays and dynamic array formulas, this book helps you examine the dynamic array property of lifting and how it impacts the formulas, including those written with existing functions. Plenty of illustrations and formulas along the way help you get comfortable using them. From there, you will learn Excel 365's new dynamic functions, including the 14 currently in rollout, each accompanied by instructive examples. In many cases, the examples demonstrate how the new functions can work with long-available functions, such as MID, IF, COUNTIF, etc., which now also boast dynamic array functionality.


What You Will Learn

  • Unlock the dynamic array potential in Microsoft Excel
  • Apply dynamic array functions and confidently direct them to real-world spreadsheet tasks
  • Know the distinctive ways in which arrays work and can be applied to numerous data-analytic tasks


Who This Book Is For

Users of Excel 365 and beyond who are comfortable with, but not necessarily expert in, formula writing, as well as those who are unaware of or not fluent with dynamic arrays. It is also valuable to data journalists and other professionals in need of spreadsheet skills who may unaware of dynamic arrays, and the time they could save by applying them to their work.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

了解動態陣列的威力:一個公式就能產生新的且更有效率的試算表可能性。本書介紹了 Microsoft Excel 365 中的動態陣列函數,定義並詳細說明它們的獨特工作方式,並展示了它們如何應用於廣泛的數據分析任務。

雖然陣列公式和函數在試算表工具箱中已經存在很長時間(儘管對於我們許多人來說,它們被拋在了一個偏僻的角落),但動態陣列引擎提供了一套更加用戶友好和易於理解的方式來操作陣列模式下的試算表數據。動態陣列的單一公式、多個儲存格功能已經擴展到幾乎所有現有的試算表函數,提供了一種新的、默認的工作方式。因此,現在許多任務可以使用動態陣列來執行,而無需完全依賴新的函數。

在定義陣列和動態陣列公式之後,本書幫助您研究動態陣列的提升屬性以及它對公式的影響,包括那些使用現有函數編寫的公式。一路上有許多插圖和公式幫助您熟悉使用它們。然後,您將學習 Excel 365 的新動態函數,包括目前正在推出的 14 個函數,每個函數都附有教學示例。在許多情況下,這些示例演示了新函數如何與長期可用的函數(例如 MID、IF、COUNTIF 等)一起使用,這些函數現在也具有動態陣列功能。

您將學到什麼


  • 解鎖 Microsoft Excel 中的動態陣列潛力

  • 應用動態陣列函數,並自信地將其應用於實際的試算表任務

  • 了解陣列的獨特工作方式,並將其應用於眾多數據分析任務

本書適合對象
本書適合 Excel 365 及以上版本的使用者,他們對於公式編寫感到舒適,但不一定是專家,以及那些對於動態陣列不熟悉或不熟練的人。對於需要試算表技能但可能不熟悉動態陣列及其應用的數據記者和其他專業人士來說,本書也具有價值,並且可以節省他們的工作時間。

作者簡介

Abbott Ira Katz is a native New Yorker living in London, He has been teaching Excel for 25 years, exploring the application with learners on both sides of the Atlantic. He has authored two Apress books on Excel-Microsoft Excel 2010, and Excel 2010 Made Simple, he wrote the spreadsheetjournalism.com blog, and has contributed Excel-themed pieces to datajournalism.com, the Irish Tech News, datadrivenjournalism.net, and the baseball journal By the Numbers. His work with spreadsheets has been cited by the Guardian, the Wall Street Journal, the Freakonomic blog, and the Excel expert Chandoo, and he gave an Excel-driven, five-session workshop on Data Stories at Sciences Po University in Paris in 2018. Abbott has a doctorate in sociology from SUNY Stony Brook. The idea for a book on dynamic array functions springs from a sense that the take-up of these potent tools remains small, and that large numbers of spreadsheet users remain unaware of their capacity for facilitating a myriad of wide-ranging tasks.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

Abbott Ira Katz是一位生於紐約、現居倫敦的本地人。他已經教授Excel已有25年的時間,並與大西洋兩岸的學習者一同探索這個應用程式。他撰寫了兩本Apress出版的Excel書籍,分別是《Microsoft Excel 2010》和《Excel 2010 Made Simple》。他還撰寫了spreadsheetjournalism.com部落格,並為datajournalism.com、Irish Tech News、datadrivenjournalism.net和baseball journal By the Numbers等網站撰寫了與Excel相關的文章。他的試算表工作曾被《衛報》、《華爾街日報》、Freakonomic部落格和Excel專家Chandoo引用。2018年,他在巴黎的Sciences Po大學舉辦了一個以Excel為主題的五節課的數據故事工作坊。Abbott在SUNY Stony Brook獲得了社會學博士學位。撰寫一本關於動態數組函數的書籍的想法源於他認為這些強大工具的應用仍然有限,許多試算表使用者對於它們在促進各種廣泛任務方面的能力仍然不知情。
