Hi, and welcome to “Learn Advanced Excel Formulas – Taught by a Googler.”
I’ve spent years working with complex data systems and spreadsheets at Google. In this course, I’ll teach you over 80+ advanced Excel and Google Sheets formulas — the very same functions I use to solve real business problems, automate reporting, and work smarter every day.
Whether you're an analyst, a project manager, a student, or just someone who works with Excel or Sheets regularly — this course is designed to simplify complex formulas and make you feel confident and in control of your spreadsheets.
We’ll cover everything from:
Logical formulas like IF, IFS, and IFERROR
Lookup formulas like VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, INDEX, and MATCH
Text, date, math, and dynamic functions like TEXTJOIN, FILTER, ARRAYFORMULA, and more
Each lesson is short, practical, and focused, so you can immediately apply what you learn.
No fluff. No theory overload. Just clear, real-world examples and hands-on walkthroughs — explained in a way that makes sense.
By the end of this course, you’ll be writing advanced formulas with confidence, saving hours of manual work, and building smarter spreadsheets than ever before.
Let’s get started and unlock the full power of Excel — one formula at a time!
This lecture covers Excel's SUM, SUMIF, and SUMIFS functions for basic addition and conditional summing with single or multiple criteria.
This lecture will equip you with a comprehensive understanding of Excel's core averaging functions: AVERAGE, AVERAGEIF, and AVERAGEIFS. You'll learn to calculate simple means with AVERAGE, apply single-condition averages using AVERAGEIF, and tackle complex, multi-criteria averaging with AVERAGEIFS. We'll cover syntax, practical examples, and common pitfalls to ensure you can confidently derive meaningful insights from your data. Get ready to enhance your data analysis skills!
This lecture will teach you how to use Excel's COUNT functions. You'll learn to count all numbers with COUNT, count based on one condition with COUNTIF, and count with multiple conditions using COUNTIFS. We'll cover syntax, practical examples, and essential tips for accurate data analysis.
The COUNTA function in Excel is a fundamental statistical function that counts the number of cells in a range that are not empty. Unlike COUNT, which only counts numerical values, COUNTA counts any cell that contains any type of data, including numbers, text, logical values (TRUE/FALSE), error values, and even empty text strings ("") resulting from formulas.
This lecture will guide you through the powerful world of conditional logic in Excel, focusing on the IF function and its advanced applications. You'll learn to make your spreadsheets perform different actions based on specific conditions.
The IFERROR function in Excel is designed to catch and handle errors that might occur in your formulas. Instead of displaying a standard error message (like #DIV/0!, #N/A, #VALUE!, etc.), IFERROR
The IFNA function is a specialized error-handling function that allows you to specify a custom value to return only when a formula results in an #N/A error. It's a more targeted alternative to IFERROR
The IFS function (available in Excel 2019, Excel for Microsoft 365, and Google Sheets) is a modern and powerful alternative to complex Nested IF statements. It allows you to test multiple conditions and return a value corresponding to the first condition that evaluates to TRUE, without nesting IF functions inside each other.
