Number of total calculation functions
Dear Experts of Microsoft Office...
What is the total number of calculation functions in Excel 2010? Any new ones compared to 2007? If possible, I'd appreciate it if at least someone can list the new functions. I'm trying to decide, should I wait for Office 2010 to be released so I can get an even better product, or there's not going to be ANY new features in Excel 2010 that I'm going to need for my everyday life. Please tell me in your reply if you know what I mean. I hear Quattro Pro X4 (by Corel) has more than 500. |

Number of total calculation functions
Apps in office 2003:
Think about it like this. What do you need to do in Excel? Excel is a great program, pretty much everything that any normal person needs to do is covered in there somewhere if you know what to do. Excel 2007 offers a few things that are much nicer than excel 2003 (my favourites are 1. more rows, 2. SUMIFS formula, 3. improved conditional formatting). But I would say if you have time to spend waiting around for Excel 2010, you probably don't need excel at all. Joe, I'm with you on this. The extra functionality in excel 2007 is great but it sucks that they hid all the functions away so that it makes it much more difficult to explain where things are. The ribbon looks nice but the stuff behind the ribbon is mostly the same old set of menus but less obvious to access. I wonder if they will jazz those up in 2010. -- Allllen "JoeU2004" wrote: "appsinoffice2003" wrote: I hear Quattro Pro X4 (by Corel) has more than 500.

Number of total calculation functions
Hi,
1. In 2003 there are about 229 spreadsheet functions and another ~100 Analysis ToolPak functions - together 329 functions. 2. In 2007 the Analysis ToolPak function no longer need to be attached and in addition there are 12 new functions, of which only about 5 would be of use to the average users for a total of 341 functions. 3. In 2010 - well 2010 is not out, and if we know the answer we couldn't tell under NDA. I don't thing many users know or could use all the built in functions - BETADIST is one for you to work on. -- If this helps, please click the Yes button.
