Solver: Finding Optimal
Solutions
Optimization Constraints
Solver is a more advanced tool for Solver allows you to define
finding the optimal solution to constraints, such as limitations on
complex problems. It can handle resources, budget, or time. It will

input values that maximizes or
minimizes a target cell.
Consolidation: Combining
Data Sources
Consolidation simplifies analysis by merging data from
1
multiple sources into a single location. This allows you to
compare and analyze data from various spreadsheets or
external sources.
You can combine data from different departments,
2
branches, or even external databases. This provides a
comprehensive view of your data and allows for more
insightful analysis.
Consolidation enables you to track performance across
3
different units, monitor trends, and identify potential areas
for improvement. It also simplifies reporting and data
sharing.
Subtotal: Summarizing Data
Subtotal is a handy feature for quickly summarizing data
within a table. It calculates totals or other statistics for
1 specific ranges of data, making it easy to analyze data trends
and patterns.
You can use Subtotal to calculate sums, averages, counts, or
other statistical functions for specific groups or ranges of
2 data within a table. This helps you gain insights from large
datasets.
Subtotal is a powerful tool for generating reports, analyzing
sales data, or summarizing any data set. It provides a concise
3 overview of key data points and helps you understand the
underlying patterns and trends.
Macro: Automating Repetitive Tasks
Automation
1
Efficiency
Macros automate repetitive tasks, saving you time and effort. They can
2
perform complex actions, such as formatting cells, inserting data, or
generating reports, with a single click.
Consistency
Macros ensure consistent results by applying the same
3
steps every time. This reduces the risk of errors and helps
maintain data integrity.
Styles and Templates: Consistent Formatting
Styles
1 Styles allow you to apply pre-defined formatting settings to elements like cells, tables, or charts,
ensuring consistency and professional appearance.
Templates
Templates provide pre-designed layouts and formats, saving you time and effort
2
when creating new documents. They can include pre-set styles, formulas, and
data structures, ensuring consistency across projects.
Efficiency
Styles and templates streamline document creation,
3 allowing you to focus on content rather than formatting.
They also ensure consistency across your work, enhancing
professionalism and readability.
