Excel Formulas & Functions – excelisfun Flashback Friday 01 – Excel Basics

In this video learn about formulas and functions from an excelisfun YouTube video posted back in the year 2008. This is a new Friday Event at the excelisfun channel: Flashback Friday. This video is remarkable because it covers most of the basics you need for formulas such as: Formulas Basics, Functions, Excel’s Golden Rule, Number Formatting, Number Formulas and Text Formulas, all in one video! Even though this video was published in 2008, all the content in the video is what you need to know about Excel Formulas and Functions in the year 2019.

Wow, that takes me back. I think this is when I was first watching your videos. Mike, I have to tell you... I finally figured out your meaning of angry rabbit. I guess I never really thought about it and always just went with it until I was watching your video series about Power Query recently and you showed the different variations of the cursors. It finally hit me... cross hair is an angry rabbit. I know this is silly, but I just wanted to share that since we are flashing back. Thanks for the many many years of free content you provide. I know how difficult and time consuming it is to do what you do. It is appreciated.

About 10 years ago I had just discovered Excel as well as your YouTube Channel. Thank you for showing me countless tips and tricks. The first ever thing I learned from you was Ctl + Enter.

wow... It's like Back to the Future! Haven't seen the Excel 2007 UI for long. Thanks for sharing this, and more importantly, all the great Excel knowledges!

With this video I went back into my good old college days when we were taught present value (PV), future value (FV), internal rate of return (IRR), equated monthly installment (EMI) formulas. Even today; many times I prefer to do this stuff the classic (on a calculator) way. Fantastic !! Cheers !!

[katerina]

Thank you Mike, full package, dynamic text reference and formula. I like how you keep reminding the usage of keyboard shortcuts
🤗 Have a great day Mike

Love it Mike! Good old Office 2007, we sure have come a long way since then. The big pizza Windows logo in the upper left of the window had me laughing!

[davebowman]

Back when you and merged cells were friends! Thanks Mike
