Here is a very quick spreadcheat for the new year.
If you need to select all the cells in a series (either row-wise or or in columns) you can use one of these 2 shortcuts (and avoid unnecessary scrolling)
1. Select the first cell in the series
2. Press Shift + Ctrl + Down arrow
Or
1. Select the first cell in the series
2. Hold down SHIFT and Double click on the edge of cell in the direction you want to select
for eg. double click on the think black line (that you see when you select a cell) and excel selects all the cells in that direction

Great Chandoo. Keep it up, Looking forward more from BYOD..
Thanks
With Excel 2013 the pivot table could be connected to the data model which provides a distinct count.
This will do for invoice count
=COUNTIF(F:F,H12)
Instead of
=COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],$H12)
Excellent document. How did you make the last graphic? Witch app. Thanks for answer.
Can someone tell me what =countif(sales[date],sales[date]) is counting? The value is 19. Its found in the =SUMPRODUCT(IF(sales[SELLER]=H12,1/COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],H12,sales[date],sales[date]),0))
Hi Chris,
=countif(sales [date],sales[date]) function is counting the unique dates in the table.

Excellent document!
Can you explain more about the calculation on Weighted consistency? More specific the small number is 0,00001 ?
How come the number should be smaller if there is more sellers?
Hi,
Not understood this formula: {=SUMPRODUCT(IF(sales[SELLER]=H12,1/COUNTIFS(sales[SELLER],H12,sales[date],sales[date]),0))}
Please explain.
Thanks.
