Excel Functions Formula Sheet
LOOKUP FUNCTIONS
VLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_range, col index,
[match type])
match type: TRUE means approximate match
FALSE means exact match
If you omit the optional argument (i.e., match type) then by default Excel
takes it as TRUE
TEXT FUNCTIONS
LEFT(text, k)
The function LEFT(text, k) returns the first k characters in a text string. For
example, the formula LEFT("Reggie", 4). Excel returns Regg.
RIGHT(text, k)
The function RIGHT(text, k) returns the last k characters in a text string. For
example, the formula RIGHT("Reggie",4) returns ggie
MID(text, k, m)
The function RIGHT(text, k) returns the last k characters in a text string. For
example, the formula RIGHT("Reggie",4) returns ggie
TRIM(text)
The function TRIM(text) removes all spaces from a text string except for
single spaces between words. For example, the formula
TRIM(" Reggie Miller") eliminates two spaces between as well as before and
after the text.
LEN(text)
The function LEN(text) returns the number of characters in a text string
(including spaces). For example, the formula LEN("Da da") returns 5.
REPT(text, number_of_times)
The REPT function allows you to repeat a text string a specified number of
times. The syntax is REPT(text, number_of_times). For example, REPT(“|”,3)
produces the output |||.
FIND(text_to_find, actual_text, k)
SEARCH(text_to_find, actual_text, k)
The TEXTJOIN function combines the text from multiple ranges and/or
strings, and it includes a delimiter you specify between each text value that
will be combined. If the delimiter is an empty text string, this function will
effectively concatenate the ranges.
REPLACE(old_text, k, m, new_text)
DATE FUNCTIONS
