Decoding the Mysterious # Symbol in Excel Once and For All
If you've ever seen the mysterious # symbol pop up in Excel formulas and wondered what it really means, this video is for you. Excel's dynamic arrays have changed the game, and understanding how the # symbol works is key to using them effectively.
The Excel dynamic arrays are at the heart of transforming the way you should work in Excel and this video is an example of their capability.
In this video, I break down what the # symbol actually represents in Excel, when you can use it, and—just as importantly—when you can’t. We’ll explore the logic behind it, and how this symbol can be your shortcut to smarter, more dynamic spreadsheets.
I’ll walk you through a real-world application of the # symbol, where it helps extend a formula across a spilling range automatically. By the end, you’ll feel confident using # to make your formulas more efficient and powerful.
