48. EXCEL FORMULA ERRORS – UNDERSTAND AND DEBUG THEM
The following are some errors that may appear in a spreadsheet (there are others
too)
- #######
Cell is too narrow to display the results of the formula. To fix this simply make the
column wider and the “real” value will be displayed instead of the ###### signs.
Note that even when the ###### signs are being displayed, Excel still uses the
“real” value to calculate formulas that reference this cell.
- #NAME?
You used a cell reference in the formula that is not formed correctly (e.g. =BB+10
instead of =B3+10)
- #VALUE!
Usually the result of trying to do math with a textual value. Example: =A1*3 where
A1 contains the word “hello”

49. - #DIV/0!
Trying to divide by zero. Example: =3/A1 where A1 contains 0 (zero)
- Circular Reference
Using a formula that contains a reference to the cell that the formula “lives in”.
Example: putting the formula =A1+1 in cell A1 or putting the formula
=SUM(A1:B2) in any of the cells A1, B1, A2, B2
- #N/A
this is one of the frequent errors you see while using VLOOKUP formula. The N/A
error is shown when some data is missing, or inappropriate arguments are passed
to the lookup functions (VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP etc.)
- #REF!
This is one of the most common error messages you see when you fiddle with a
worksheet full of formulas. You get #REF! error when one of the formula
parameters is pointing to an invalid range. This can happen because you deleted
the cells. For e.g. try to write a sum formula like =SUM(A1:A10, B1:B10, C1:C10)
and then delete the column C. Immediately the sum formula returns #REF! error.

50. - REFERENCE OF CELLS
1. Relative References:
Automatically change as they’re copied down a column or across a
row.
2. Absolute References:
They are fixed. They don’t change if you copy a formula from one
cell to another. Absolute references have dollar signs ($) like this:
$D$9 – Using F4 between each controls

51. - Function
- Useful Short Keys
• Filter: Alt + D + F + F
• Filter: Ctrl + Shift +L
• Filter: Alt + A + T
• Auto Sum: Alt+=
• Current Date: =TODAY()
• Shortcut Key: Ctrl+;
• Current Date And Time: =NOW()
• Current Time: =NOW()-TODAY()
(Use Ctrl+Shift+2) to convert time
decimals
• Key For Date And Time:
=Ctrl+;<Space>Ctrl + Shift +;
=IF – Is for Single condition
=IFS – If it is Multiple Conditions

• DATA SORTING
• TABLE FORMATS
• DATA VALIDATION
• CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
• V-LOOKUP & H-LOOKUP
• PIVOT TABLES
• CHARTS/GRAPHS
• FORMULAS

54. 1. FILTERING
The basic Excel filter (also known as the Excel Auto-filter) allows
you to view specific rows in an Excel spreadsheet, while hiding
the other rows. When the Excel auto-filter is added to the
header row of a spreadsheet, a drop-down menu appears in
each cell of the header row.
Why Filtering?
We can focus on specific record/rows in a large table of data by
setting conditions, so that only specific data is displayed and rest
of the records are get hidden temporarily in the spreadsheet.

55. FILTERS
Filtering data in MS Excel refers to displaying only the rows that
meet certain conditions. (The other rows get hidden
temporarily).
Path for Filter option: Data <> Sort & Filter
Shortcut keys:
1. Ctrl + Shift + L
2. Alt + D + F + F
3. Alt + A + T

56. 1. ADVANCED FILTERING
Actions for Advance
Filtering:
 Filter the list, In the same
place by Criteria
 Filter the list, Copy to
another location Criteria

57. 2. TEXT FILTERING
 Equals
 Does not Equal
 Begins with
 Ends with
 Contains
 Does not begin with
 Custom Filter

58. 3. LABEL & VALUE FILTERING
Important: This selection is reflected only on Pivot Tables

59. 4. MULTIPLE FILTERS
As we all are aware that a Filter can be
placed only once in a sheet and multiples
in multiple sheets or work book
With the help from Data <> Sort & Filter
Or
Shortcut keys:
1. Ctrl + Shift + L
2. Alt + D + F + F
3. Alt + A + T

60. 4.1 MULTIPLE FILTERS
And we can place Multiple Filters in one sheet, but using
Tables Format, under Styles,

61. DATA SORTING
Data Sorting in MS Excel is performed to re-
arranges the rows based on the contents of a
particular column.
• For numerical data, Sorting could be done in
ascending order or descending order.
• For text data, sorting could be done in
alphabetical ascending (A-Z) order or
descending order (Z-A).
Tips & Tricks from drop-down menu
 Alt + i + S (Sort A to Z)
 Alt + i + O (Sort Z to A)
 Alt + i + T (Sort by Color sub menu)
 Alt + i + I (Filter by Color sub menu)
 Alt + i + F (Text or Date Filter sub menu)

62. DATA VALIDATION
MS Excel data validation feature allows you to set up certain
validation rules that what can be entered into a cell.
Validation Criteria
To specify the type of data allowable in a cell or range, follow the
steps below:
Select the cell or range.
Choose Data » Data Tools » Data Validation.
Excel displays its Data Validation dialog box having 3 tabs-
 Settings
 Input Message
 Error alert

63. 1. SETTINGS
Here you can set the type of validation you need. Choose an
option from the Allow drop-down list. The contents of the Data
Validation dialog box will change, displaying controls based on
your choice –
 Any Value
 Whole Number
 Decimal
 List etc.

64. 2. INPUT MESSAGE
With the options available in data validation, you can display
messages to give instructions to the people who use your
spreadsheet. An Input Message can be displayed when a cell is
selected. An Error Alert can be displayed if invalid data is entered in
a cell.

65. 3. ERROR ALERT!
Create an Error Alert!
When you add data validation to a cell, the Error Alert feature is
automatically turned on. It blocks the users from entering invalid
data in the cell. You can turn Error Alert off, to allow people to enter
invalid data

66. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
Conditional formatting helps to visually explore and Analyze data,
Detect critical issues, and Identify patterns and trends.
Conditional formatting makes it easy to highlight interesting cells or
ranges of cells, emphasize unusual values, and visualize data by
using data bars, Color scales, and icon sets that correspond to
specific variations in the data.
Choose Home Tab » Style group » Conditional Formatting dropdown.

67. CONDITIONAL FORMATTING
New Rule: It opens the New Formatting
Rule dialog box, where you define a custom
conditional formatting rule to apply to the
cell selection.
Clear Rule: It opens a continuation menu,
where you can remove conditional
formatting rules for the cell selection by
clicking the Selected Cells option, for the
entire worksheet by clicking the ‘Entire
Sheet’ option, or for just the current data
table by clicking the ‘This Table’ option.
Manage Rule: It opens the Conditional
Formatting Rules Manager dialog box,
where you edit and delete particular rules
as well as adjust their rule precedence by
moving them up or down in the Rules list
box.

68. V-LOOKUP & H-LOOKUP
V-LOOKUP is a function, which is used to search for value
vertically from lookup table.
Similarly, H-LOOKUP searches for value horizontally from
lookup table.
V-LOOKUP and H-LOOKUP both have 4 parameters as below.
(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup)

69. V-LOOKUP & H-LOOKUP PARAMETERS
Lookup_value: It is the user input. This is the value that the function
uses to search on.
The table_array: It is the area of cells in which the table is located.
This includes not only the column being searched on, but the data
columns for which you are going to get the values that you need.
Col_index_num: It is the column of data that contains the answer
that you want.
Range_lookup: It is a TRUE or FALSE value. When set to TRUE, the
lookup function gives the closest match to the lookup_value
without going over the lookup_value. When set to FALSE, an exact
match must be found to the lookup_value or the function will return
#N/A. Note, this requires that the column containing the
lookup_value be formatted in ascending order.

70. PIVOT TABLE
In the row and column label areas of a PivotTable report, you
can group the items in a field by customize ways.
Grouping data can help you to create a subset of data, which cannot
be easily grouped in other ways, such as sorting and filtering.
What can we do with Pivot Table?
• We can do dimension wise grouping
What to show in a group?
• Any possible dynamic summary of the group
Shortcut keys
Alt + D + P + F
Alt + N + V + Enter

71. PIVOT CHARTS
A pivot chart is a graphical representation of a data summary
displayed in a pivot table. A pivot chart is always based on a pivot
table. Although Excel lets you create a pivot table and a pivot chart
at the same time, you can’t create a pivot chart without a pivot
table. All Excel charting features are available in a pivot chart.
Pivot charts are available under Insert tab » PivotTable dropdown
» PivotChart

72. CHARTS/GRAPHS
Graph or Chart translate the data into distances and plot data
points in a way that their relative distances are kept.
Select the chart of your choice and click OK to generate the chart.
To create charts for the data by below steps.
Select the data for which you want to create chart.
Choose insert tab » select the chart or click on the chart group to see
various chart types.

73. TYPES OF GRAPHS/CHARTS
Bar: A bar chart illustrates comparisons
among individual items
Area: An area chart emphasizes the
magnitude of change over time.
Line: A line chart shows trends in data at
equal intervals.
Column: Column chart shows data
changes over a period of time or
illustrates comparisons among items.
Pie: A pie chart shows the size of items
that make up a data series, proportional to
the sum of the items.
