6 Excel features that will blow your mind:
1. Data Types (DT)
Spare yourself the google search and let Excel search for you using DT. DT pull real-time data into Excel. To convert text strings into linked DT, just select the data category under the data tab. Now, simply select the attributes you want to pull into Excel.
2. Flash Fill (FF)
Say goodbye to writing complex functions to manipulate data, and hello to FF. FF automatically fills data down a column based on detected patterns. Just enter how you want the data to appear, hit CTRL E, and Excel will auto-fill the pattern down the column!
3. Power Query (PQ)
Teleport data into Excel using PQ. PQ is a powerful tool that imports data from various sources (the web, PDFs, CSVs, etc.) into Excel. Instead of copying data from the web, just go to the Data tab > From Web > enter URL > Select the data table and hit load.
4. AutoSum (AS)
Summing data in Excel can be tedious, but not with AS! AS automatically detects data in adjacent cells and sums it using the SUM function. To use AS, select an empty cell adjacent to the data that needs to be summed and simply press ALT =.
