If Functions:

• If (assign a true or false result to cells that meet a single criteria)
• And (assign a true or false value to rows that meet multiple criteria)
• Or (assign a true or false value to rows meet one or another criteria)
• Nest AND / OR inside IF
• Ifs (multiple If statements)

HLookup | VLookup | XLookup Functions:

• HLookup (look up data in a row)
• VLookup (look up data in a column)
• XLookup (look up data in a column and a row)

Financial Functions:

• Pmt (calculate payments and interest rates on a loan
• FV (calculate the future value of an investment)

Text Functions:

• Month (extract the month from a cell containing a date)
• Year(extract the year from a cell containing a date)
• Day (extract the day from a cell containing a date
• DateDif (calculate days/months/years between two different dates)

Misc:

• "Nest" functions (combine functions - place one function within another)
• Round Function (round off results to a given number of decimal places)

"What-If" Tools:

Goal Seek allows you to calculate an unknown value in a given formula, but is only useful for problems that involve finding a single variable. When the desired result of a calculated cell is known, but not the input value that calculation needs to reach that result, you can use Goal Seek.

Solver is a tool that helps you find solutions to problems involving multiple variables.

Scenarios are part of a group of commands that can be called what-if analysis tools. A scenario is a set of values that a user can create and save and then substitute at any time in the worksheet. The user can then switch to any of these new scenarios to view different results in the worksheet. To compare several scenarios, you can create a report that summarizes them on the same page.

What-If Tables allow you to analyze data and produce a table to show the results. When a single variable like the unit price changes, use a one-input What-If Table. If the unit price AND number of units sold changes, use the two-input What-If Table.

Macros:

Create Absolute and/or Relative Macros to automate common, repetitive tasks.

WorkBook Controls:

Add buttons, sliders, and checkboxes to a worksheet to create a "user-friendly" interface for less experienced users.
