Google Docs – spreadsheet application has introduced some major upgrades to their editor today.
Some of the key changes include:
- Introduction of menus to access all spreadsheet functions / features by category: Now the spreadsheet app menus look more like Excel 2003 menus. Looks like Google is trying hard to close gap between the two applications.
- Improved and less ambiguous toolbar: Now the toolbar has lesser icons on it but it is more user friendly and simple.
- Named ranges: I haven’t seen these before. Or they were hidden somewhere in the cluttered toolbar. But the named ranges feature can be really useful if you work with tabular data and use lots of formulas.
- New share and auto-save buttons: The new “Share” and “save” buttons are cool and functional. They have replaced the earlier “save”, “save & close” buttons. They have also changed the “share” screens, now when you click on the share options, you would see a normal dialog box with spreadsheet sharing options etc. instead of the earlier version with screen tabs.

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.
