Excel advanced - Database functions

How do you assign a database status to the data table or start a new one so you can use database functions?

Thanks

Ro

RE: Excel advanced - Database functions

Hello Ro,
I hope you enjoyed your Excel training sessions with us.

To answer your question, Excel will see any contiguous data table as a database for function purposes. This means that as long as there are no blank rows in your data, Excel will recognise the status.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved. If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. And please feel free to ask any other questions you may have.

Have a great day.

Regards,
Mara

Excel tip:

No Zeros

Want all the zeros in your worksheet to appear blank? Choose Tools/Options, Click on the View Tab, Deselect the Zero Values Option, Click OK.
Easy wasn't it? But be aware that these cells are not actually blank, they still contain the value zero. This is important because certain functions (ie AVERAGE) make a distinction between blank cells and those with a zero value.
