One of the most common comments we get here is “how does xxx formula works?” Even though there is vast documentation on excel formulas including the built-in help in MS Office, often it is difficult for us to learn a formula quickly and use it in a snap. So to help new users of excel learn the most frequent formulas I have built an excel formula helper page.
The page currently lists about 50 most commonly used excel formulas along with 1 index card for each to explain,
- what the formula does
- what is its syntax
- 2 examples to understand how it works
see an example:
The good thing about these index cards is, they use simple day to day English to explain the formulas, so I am guessing they are a great way for new users to learn and use the formulas.
I have tried to keep the page simple so that anyone can come and learn a few formulas quickly. Play around with it and let me know if this is useful (of if something is funny / broken)
Here is the link: excel formula helper – 50 day to day formulas explained in plain English

One Response to “Easily Convert JSON to Excel – Step by Step Tutorial”
Great guide! You mentioned that "Power Query in Excel offers a quick, easy and straightforward way to convert JSON to Excel." This is very true for simple structures. For those dealing with deeply nested JSON that Power Query struggles with, I've found a few tips helpful: 1) Flatten the JSON structure before importing if possible, 2) Use Python for more complex transformations as you suggested.
