Video Description

Sign up for our Excel webinar, times added weekly: https://www.excelcampus.com/blueprint-registration/ In this video you will learn how array formulas work in Excel and how to calculate the Minimum of one column based on criteria from another column. Download the file: https://www.excelcampus.com/functions/formula-challenge-first-sale-each-month/ This is the first video in a series on solutions to the Formula Challenge to find the first sales transaction for each month of the year. There were over 100 solutions submitted on the blog page, so I created a series of videos to explain the most popular solutions. The most popular solution was to use a MIN IF array formula. This first video explains how array formulas work with a simple example. I also explain how to enter the array formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter. We then use the Evaluate Formula window to step through each part of the formula and learn how Excel calculates arrays. In the next video I explain how to combine the MIN IF with VLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH functions, to return a matching result from another column. We will also look at NON-array solutions withe AGGREGATE and MINIFS functions in future videos.
