What’s New for Convergence 2012?

Have you attended Convergence in past years?  If so, you might be asking yourself:  why should I attend Convergence 2012 in Houston?  Well, consider this:  beyond all the incredible networking and learning opportunities that you’ve come to know from past Convergence events, our 2012 event at the George R. Brown Convention Center offers you several fresh faces.

With a new worldwide emphasis, Convergence 2012 has expanded the networking opportunities open to you with an even greater international presence.

Our new community-driven approach to Hands on Labs means that subject matter experts within the customer community are producing the lab exercises, making them even more valuable than ever before!  We’ll also post the Hands on Labs online so that Convergence attendees can run through exercises outside of our busy conference hours and after the event concludes.

New and inspirational keynote speakers, including key Microsoft executives, will not only stimulate your thought-processes but also present you with the latest plans and strategies for your Microsoft Dynamics solution.

Sponsor Sessions also debut in 2012, providing Convergence attendees the opportunity to dig a little deeper into the solutions and technology offerings of Microsoft Dynamics’ most prominent ISV’s and business partners.

Learn About Array Formulas in Excel

Why use array formulas?

If you have experience using formulas in Excel, you know that you can perform some fairly sophisticated operations. For example, you can calculate the total cost of a loan over any given number of years. However, if you really want to master formulas in Excel, you need to know how to use array formulas. You can use array formulas to do complex tasks, such as:

  •  Count the number of characters that are contained in a range of cells.
  • Sum only numbers that meet certain conditions, such as the lowest values in a range or numbers that fall between an upper and lower boundary.

Sum every nth value in a range of values.

Note   You may see array formulas referred to as “CSE formulas,” because you press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to enter them into your workbooks.

A quick introduction to arrays and array formulas

If you’ve done even a little programming, you’ve probably run across the term array. For our purposes, an array is a collection of items. In Excel, those items can reside in a single row (called a one-dimensional horizontal array), a column (a one-dimensional vertical array), or multiple rows and columns (a two-dimensional array). You cannot create three-dimensional arrays or array formulas in Excel.

An array formula is a formula that can perform multiple calculations on one or more of the items in an array. Array formulas can return either multiple results or a single result. For example, you can place an array formula in a range of cells and use the array formula to calculate a column or row of subtotals. You can also place an array formula in a single cell and then calculate a single amount. An array formula that resides in multiple cells is called a multi-cell formula, and an array formula that resides in a single cell is called a single-cell formula.

The examples in the next section show you how to create multi-cell and single-cell array formulas.

Try it!

This exercise shows you how to use multi-cell and single-cell array formulas to calculate a set of sales figures. The first set of steps uses a multi-cell formula to calculate a set of subtotals. The second set uses a single-cell formula to calculate a grand total.

Create a multi-cell array formula

  1.  Open a new, blank workbook.
  2. Copy the example worksheet data, and then paste it into the new workbook starting at cell A1.
