We added an additional function: PERCENTOF. This type of aggregation was previously impossible in Excel. Here I make use of a lambda to sort the unique items before joining them together using ARRAYTOTEXT. They also aggregate using lambda functions which unlock new aggregation capabilities.Ĭonsider the following example where I aggregate text values.

( link, link)Īs functions, GROUPBY and PIVOTBY are lightweight, fully descriptive, automatically update and can depend on the result of other calculations. GROUPBY(row_fields,values,function,) PIVOTBY(row_fields,col_fields,values,function,ĭetailed information on these arguments can be found on the function help pages. For instance, you can control how they sort, whether your data has headers, and whether you want to filter out some values. GROUPBY and PIVOTBY have additional arguments that give you control of their outputs. Previously you'd have to have write: =BYCOL(C3:F6,LAMBDA(x,SUM(x)) We also added eta lambda support to our all our functions that accept lambdas, greatly improving formula readability for simple scenarios. And while they have a complex name, they are extreme easy and intuitive to use – you don’t even need to know anything about lambda functions you can just pick them from a list. These are lambda functions, “eta reduced lambda” functions to be precise. In the examples above, we pass the SUM and MAX functions to GROUPBY and PIVOTBY respectively. PIVOTBY is the same as GROUPBY but it let's you group by column too. To do a simple GROUPBY, you need just 3 arguments: i) What to group by, ii) the values to aggregate and iii) the function you'd like to use for the aggregation. Until final, we do not recommend using them in important workbooks.

Note: These are preview functions, their signature and results may change substantially before final release based on user feedback. In fact, you can do a data aggregation with just 3 arguments, the same number as a simple XLOOKUP. And while these functions are extremely powerful, they are also simple to get started with. These functions allow you to perform data aggregations using a single formula. I’m excited to announce Excel's new GROUPBY and PIVOTBY functions.
