Excel.

Tracking marketing outcomes?

Excel does that, too, and a million other things that make it the most widely adopted tool on the market.

But do you REALLY know the power of that same tool you’ve been “using” for the last decade?

This week on the Maven Blog, Matt Mike is sharing a few of the most useful Excel functions you need to add to your toolkit:

“I love Excel.

For years it was my bread and butter as a Data Analyst (still often is).

But it took a long time of using Excel before I learned what it’s truly capable of.

Excel is the most widely used data tool on the market, but most people only scratch the surface of what it can do.

While basic functions like XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, and conditional formatting are useful, they only tap into a fraction of what makes Excel truly powerful.

If you want to take your Excel skills to the next level, here are six features that will completely transform the way you work with data:

• Power Query – Automate data cleaning and transformation
• Power Pivot – Work with millions of rows without slowing Excel down
• DAX – Unlock advanced calculations for deeper insights
• Data Modeling – Connect multiple datasets without complex formulas
• Dashboarding & Design – Build interactive reports and visualizations
• Dynamic Arrays – Make formulas spill automatically into multiple cells”
