Technical requirements
The IF
, CHOOSE
, and PRODUCT
functions, as well as Names, work in any version of Excel. The SWITCH
function requires Excel 2019 or later, while the LET
function requires Excel 2021 or Microsoft 365. The LAMBDA
function works in Microsoft 365 and Excel for the web. There are two example workbooks for this chapter: the Chapter 11 - Names, LET, and LAMBDA.xlsx
workbook can be opened in any version of Excel, although SWITCH
, LET
, and LAMBDA
will return #NAME?
in unsupported versions of Excel. The Chapter 11 - BOX_VOLUME and XBOX_VOLUME.xlsm
workbook contains programming code used to create custom worksheet functions and may be blocked by your network or Microsoft Windows. I’ll show you how to resolve a Windows block when we get to that part of this chapter. Both workbooks can be downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Exploring-Microsoft-Excels-Hidden-Treasures/tree/main/Chapter11.
