Learning Objective

  • To define the arguments used in the LET function.
  • To Recall the steps necessary to create range names in Excel.
  • To State how to use the LAMBDA function to create custom worksheet functions
  • To Create bookmarks and nicknames for key inputs by way of the Create Names from Selection feature.

Course Overview

Get up to speed on the LET and LAMBDA functions in Microsoft 365. In this CPE course Excel expert David H. Ringstrom, CPA sets the stage by explaining the concept of using range names in any version of Excel. Range names simplify formula writing and create navigation aids. The LET function lets you create nicknames, similar to range names, within formulas. These nicknames can stand in for inputs, or even calculations, so that you don't have to repeat portions of a formula. Conversely, the LAMBDA function enables you to create custom worksheet functions in Excel without having to write any code. LAMBDA functions can be transferred between workbooks in Excel.

David demonstrates every technique at least twice in this excel CPE course: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in the subscription-based Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) version of Excel. David draws your attention to any differences in the older versions of Excel (2019, 2016, 2013, and earlier) during the presentation as well as in his detailed handouts. David also provides an Excel workbook that includes most of the examples he uses during the webcast.

Microsoft 365 is a subscription-based product that provides new feature updates as often as monthly. Conversely, the perpetual licensed versions of Excel have feature sets that don't change. Perpetual licensed versions have year numbers, such as Excel 2019, Excel 2016, and so on.

In this online Excel CPE program following major topics are covered:  

  • Create your own custom worksheet functions without writing any code in Microsoft 365 with the LAMBDA function.
  • Documenting IF functions by using LET to assign nicknames to the inputs.
  • Exploring the risks and benefits of participating in the free Microsoft Office Insider program.
  • Incorporating decisions into calculations with Excel's IF function.
  • Navigating directly to inputs by using Excel's Name Box, and then returning to the previous location in the workbook via the Go To command.
  • Streamline formula writing with by creating nicknames for repetitive values with the LET function in Microsoft 365.
  • Transforming cell references into range names by way of the Apply Range Names to Formulas command.
  • Using range names to streamline formulas and bookmark key inputs within a workbook.

David Ringstrom excel courses are the best! His pace is perfect and I love that he will repeat steps a couple of ways. I NEVER multi-task during this CE as I always learn some very useful excel tools.

Really interesting course. Excited to find uses for these two new formulas. Note to myCPE, I believe the final answer in the quiz is not loaded into your system correctly.
