In daily work, Excel is a powerful data-processing tool that offers many features to help users manage and analyze data efficiently. This article introduces several simple but powerful Excel functions and explains their usefulness and application scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. SEQUENCE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Function: The SEQUENCE function generates a series of numbers based on the specified rows and columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

=SEQUENCE(rows, [columns], [start], [increment])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example: If you need to convert the names in column A into multiple rows and columns, enter the following formula in cell D6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=INDEX(A:A, SEQUENCE(E3, E4, 2)) & \"\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
2. SORT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Function: The SORT function sorts data in a specified range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=SORT(array, [sort_index], [sort_order], [by_col])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example: To sort evaluation records by the scores in column C, enter the following formula in cell E2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=SORT(A2:C17, 3, -1)<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
3. SORTBY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Function: The SORTBY function sorts a range based on multiple criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=SORTBY(array, sort_index1, [sort_order1], [sort_index2], [sort_order2], ...)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example: To sort by department and evaluation score, enter the following formula in cell E2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=SORTBY(A2:C17, A2:A17, 1, C2:C17, -1)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
4. UNIQUE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Function: The UNIQUE function extracts unique values from a dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=UNIQUE(array, [by_col], [exactly_once])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example<\/strong>\uff1aIf you want to extract a list of unique personnel from the duty records, you can enter the following formula in cell E2:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=UNIQUE(B2:C8)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
5. FILTER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Function: The FILTER function filters records based on specified criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common format:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=FILTER(array, include, [if_empty])<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Example: To return all records related to the department specified in cell F2, enter the following formula in cell E6:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
=FILTER(A1:C15, A1:A15=F2, \"No records\")<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Excel functions introduced above can help users improve data-processing efficiency and simplify workflows. We hope these tips are helpful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
