Excel has hundreds of formulas. But as a new learner or user, you may want to just focus on top 10 formulas to get the most out of it. Assuming you already know the basics (check out Beginner Excel page if you are complete newbie), here is a list of top 10 Excel formulas for you.

Top 10 Excel Formulas – The list

#1 Table & Structural References

If you don’t know how to effectively talk to your data, then your formulas will suck. That is why, my #1 formula is not even a formula. Learn how to refer to data in the spreadsheet, especially in tables. You can use tablename[column name] notation to refer to entire columns of data. You can also use [@column] to refer to column value in the current row of table.

For example, you can write formulas like these:

  • SUM(mySales[no. of customers]) to find how many customers we had.
  • SUMIFS(mySales[no. of customers], mySales[product], “FastCar”) to find how many customers bought “FastCar”

Learn more about tables & structural references in Excel.

#2 Bye bye nested IF, Hello IFS formula

You might already know about IF formula. We use it to test logical conditions and output one of two possibilities. But what if you have a very long, complex scenario that requires multiple IF functions? Simple, use IFS() instead. It can take any number of condition, output combinations and works elegantly.

Example Nested IF formula: =IF(A1>20, “Very high”, IF(A1>15, “High”, IF(A1>10, “Medium”, IF(A1>5, “Low”, “Very Low”))))

Same formula as IFS() =IFS(A1>20,"Very high", A1>15,"High", A1>10,"Medium", A1>5,"Low", A1<=5,"Very low")

#3 SUMIFS / COUNTIFS

Almost all business analysis situations will involve questions like “what is the count / sum of things that meet conditions A,B…N”. And to answer them elegantly and swiftly, you need SUMIFS / COUNTIFS. The beauty of these functions is that they are easy to learn and use.

Example SUMIFS formula:

=SUMIFS(data[Purchase Amount], data[Lead Group],"Online", data[Quantity], ">3")

Sums up [Purchase Amount] column where [Lead Group] is online AND [Quantity] is more than 3. 

Learn all about SUMIFS formula.

#4 SWITCH – CHOOSE() for new age

SWITCH is one of the new functions introduced in Excel. This versatile function helps you select one of the many outcomes based on any type of conditions. In some ways, SWITCH is similar to IFS, but it also has default option, so if none of the SWITCH conditions are met, you get value in the default parameter.

Example SWITCH formula:

=SWITCH([@State],"CO","Other","WA","Other","TX","South","East")

What it does?

Looks at [@State] value and prints one of the outputs - "Other", "South" or "East"

#5 VLOOKUP – Always in style

The other day, I went to drinks with a few mates after work. We were sitting in a hip bar drinking best of Wellington beer on a sunny day. I overhear two ladies talking about, wait for it…. VLOOKUP. I turn around and look at them. They look like fresh graduates celebrating a busy week of work and they could be talking about almost anything, but VLOOKUP is trending.

So yeah, learn VLOOKUP you must. It is the quintessential Excel function for data analysis. You can answer questions about your data using VLOOKUP.

If you are an absolute VLOOKUP virgin, try introduction to VLOOKUP page or What is VLOOKUP video. For more advanced lookup trickery and examples, checkout VLOOKUP tag or get a copy of my VLOOKUP Book.

#6 SUBTOTAL – Filter what you want, see summaries

You know that SUM(), COUNT(), AVERAGE() etc. give you basic stats about your data. But what if you filtered out to look at data for “HR department” only or “people aged between 25 and 40”. Your SUM() doesn’t change.

This is where SUBTOTAL() comes in. By default, SUBTOTAL ignores anything that is filtered away. So what you see is what you get.

Example SUBTOTAL formula:

=SUBTOTAL(9,data[Purchase Amount])

Sums up (9) filtered values in data[Purchase Amount] column.

Learn more about Excel SUBTOTAL formula.

#7 MAXIFS / MINIFS

You may already know about MAX() and MIN() formulas. But what if you want to know the maximum value based on a few criteria? Simple, use MAXIFS(). This newly added function is simple, versatile and easy to learn (if you know SUMIFS, then you know this too).

Example MAXIFS() formula:

=MAXIFS(data[Purchase Amount], data[Lead Group],"Online")

Returns maximum data[Purchase Amount] where [Lead Group] is "Online"

#8 FIND / SEARCH

There are heaps of text formulas in Excel. But if you are just starting out, go with FIND(). It finds one text value inside another. If there is a match, FIND() returns the starting position of the match, else #VALUE error.

Keep in mind though, FIND() is case sensitive. Use SEARCH() if you don’t care about the case of data.

Examples of Excel FIND() and SEARCH() functions.

  • =FIND(“l”, “Hello people..”) => 3
  • =FIND(“P”, “Hello people..”) => #VALUE! error as P can’t be found.
  • =FIND(“p”, “Hello people..”) => 7
  • =SEARCH(“P”, “Hello people..”) => 7 as SEARCH doesn’t care for case
  • =FIND(“p”, “Hello people..”, 8) => 10 Finds p after 8th letter – i.e. second p

#9 TODAY / NOW

Almost all business data will have a component of dates. So learning how to work with date & time values in Excel can be a huge help. If you are new to this, start with TODAY(). As the name suggests, TODAY() tells you the current date. This is a dynamic formula, so if you write =TODAY() in a cell, the date changes every day.

You can use NOW() formula to see current date & time.

Example – Calculating employee tenure in days:

If you have start date of an employee in a cell (A1), you can calculate their tenure (service) using TODAY() formula like this.

=TODAY() - A1

The answer will be number of days between A1 (Start date) and today.

Learn all about working with date & time values in Excel.

#10 IFERROR – when #N/A happens

To err is human, to IFERROR is awesome.

Errors happen, but use IFERROR so that your audience see soothing messages rather than confounding #VALUE!s. IFERROR looks at internal formula or expression and if there is an error, prints alternative result you want.

Example IFERROR():

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP("THIS", Customers, 2, false), "Customer not found")

Looks for "THIS" in Customers table and returns 2nd column value if found, else says "Customer not found".

Overview & Examples of Excel IFERROR formula.

    This is an awesome way to generate Housie Tickets. It's tough to find these tickets in the US. Thanks!

    Hi mate

    thanks for this.. this is a lot of fun...

  3. Sameer says:

    Thanks mate. This is a cool way of generating housie tickets........

    Thank you, great to see it working.

  5. Chandoo says:

    @All.. thanks everyone. I am happy you found this useful 🙂

    • Priti says:

      Hi Chandoo,

      I was trying to create this with family member names (around 45 names) instead of numbers. Is this possible?

      Please help. The party is on 22nd Nov. Thank you.

    • Vipul Poddar says:

      I am looking at your hidden rows
      I wanted to convert the tickets from 3x9 to 6x9
      But I can't understand it
      Would help me with that

  6. Dina Fernandes says:

    Hi Chandoo,

    I really liked your Housie Tickets. However, the tickets printed out are too small and I can't seem to increase the size to the regular printed housie tickets. Can you help me out please? Thank You. Dina

  7. Chandoo says:

    @Dina: Welcome to PHD and thanks 🙂

    hmm... I have tried to set the printing preferences to print 20 odd tickets per each A4 page. But if you are looking for bigger size here is how you can get:

    1. Go to to print preview and adjust margins and scaling. Scale your sheet until the tickets fill up the print area.

    2. print. You may want to repeat this few times so that you can get optimum size. Then save the workbook.

    3. next time you need more tickets, just print. 🙂

    Let me know if you face any difficulties.

    • Nikki says:

      Thanks so much! I've been trying to find a random ticket generator with bigger tickets. So happy I found yours and instructions to increase size. You're a STAR!

    • Nikki says:

      I am having difficulties with sizing. I need eight tickets on A4 Landscape page. I am not too good with Excel but better with Libre Office Calc. I have tried to save to that format but it doesnt work. Can anyone send instructions that are not too technical?

  11. Andre South Africa says:

    Great.... Can i change colors

  12. Chandoo says:

    @Andre... sure you can. You may want to adjust colors from conditional formatting so that they are truly changed. Let me know if you have some trouble.

    Hey...
    This is cool.. We were planning for a potluck event where I wanted to host this game but was thinking if I should go and buy it from the store just for this one time.. so as usual google'd to see if there was any generator and your's was the first hit... its cool and easy to print and I love it!!! Thanks a lot!!!

  17. Vinayy says:

    Thanks for this excellent coding.

    Please tell us how to change colors.

  18. Vinayy says:

    (sorry for a repeat post)
    Sometimes 1, 2 or 3 columns go empty in some tickets. You might want to look into this.

  19. Modeste says:

    Hi chandoo,
    I also created my own bingo/housie ticket generator ;o)))
    with all 90 numbers and with speeching draw ;o))
    it's another way to generate 15 random number between 1 to 90 and fill them in 3 boards of 15 random spots in a grid of 3 rows by 9 columns , 5 numbers by row
    (45 numbers among 90 without duplicate)

    formulas are in hidden rows (1 to 35)

    here is my workbook

  20. Jo says:

    What happened to number 90???

  21. Chandoo says:

    @Modeste: Thanks for sharing your article.. 🙂

    @Jo.. "I have removed number “90? from the list in order to reduce some complexity in generating the tickets." Generating 90 along with 80-89 creates a tricky problem of having 11 numbers in the last band while every other column has only 10 possible values.

    May be you can take a look at the workbook formulas and help me generate the 90 as well by changing them...

    Hi Chandoo / Jim,

    Thanks for the details and excellent tool.

    I am working for a media company in India and based out of Mumbai. We want to generate huge number of bingo tickets in 5x5 version with 26 grids in one sheet and roughly 13 million such sheets.

    Please let me know if either of you can help me on this.
    Not sure if it can be done in XL or VBA .

    This is very urgent and need your help.
    You can call me on 91-9820614804.

    Thanks & Rgds

  24. Jim Cone says:

    Jai Daga,
    You need to get quotes from at least three commercial printers.
    The volumes you are considering will be very attractive to anyone in the printing business.

  25. Jai says:

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for the reply. I understand its good for printing business and lot of vendors are already approaching us.

    Issue is of generating these 5*5 tickets and each ticket to have unique 8-10 digit identity code.

    Basically below is the requirement

    ***********
    Each sheet will have 26 tickets

    Each ticket have 5*5 grid acc to the US 1-75 number system but with no free space

    Each ticket has a unique 8-10 digit pin code
    We plan to print 5 million sheets (each sheet having 26 tickets)

    There will be 1.25 million sheets which will be unique and the balance sheets (3.75m) will have the same tickets
    However pin code will be unique in each ticket and hence there will be 5*26=130million unique pin codes
    These output needs to come on an excel or as a PDF file in the same format as the sheet
    *************
    Let me know if you can guide me of such software or program that can be used by me for ticket generation.

    Thanks

    Jai

  26. Jim Cone says:

    Jai,
    I might be able to generate the 130,000,000 serial numbers in an Excel workbook (.xls). Possibly Ten million numbers on each of thirteen worksheets.
    It would have to be on a paid basis.

    Hi Chandoo, i have downloaded your housie ticket generator, just have one query, how many maximum unique tickets it can make ????
    do help me with this,
    Shyaamal

  28. Chandoo says:

    @Shyaamal I guess the ticket generator should be able to make obscenely high number of unique tickets. since the process is randomized, you might see same tickets twice...

  29. Vir says:

    Hello Chandoo,
    Awesome tool! .. I loved it.

    Is there a way to tweak the generator so that I only generates no more than 4 tickets a worksheet (Make it nice and clean to print)?

    I want to print more than a 1000 of these tickets, so dont want to click on refresh button 250 times.. so if once I click refresh, is it possible to generate 50 or so worksheet at a time? So that I can click refresh 4 times and get my 1000 tickets?

    Please let me know of your thoughts.

    Thanks
    Vir

  30. Chandoo says:

    @Vir.. Thank you.

    you can easily modify the formulas and add a macro to do this. The file is unlocked, so feel free to make the changes..

  31. DonQ says:

    There is an online generator at http://www.bingocardmaker.co.uk, which generates the numbers in blocks of 6 cards, where every number from 1-90 is used. This is how the UK style books are usually printed, so that if you buy 6 tickets you are sure to have every number once and only once. Makes the generation routine a little trickier.

    Hi Chandoo,
    really liked your bingo sheet. wanted to make a program of it in delphi or vb. i cannot figure how the randomizing of the numbers is to be done properly.
    1. Row wise select ion of 5 numbers and place random (0-99) in these five places
    2. random selection of 15 numbers and place then as 10,20,30 so on
    has a function been done by you?

    i'm so confused please help

  39. BobH says:

    These tickets can not be used to play standard 90 ball Bingo, the number 90 is missing and the tickets must be produced in blocks of 6 which contain every number from 1 to 90. Also you can not have any columns with three blanks ( no numbers ) on the same ticket.

  40. I'm really impressed with your writing skills and also with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it is rare to see a great blog like this one these days.

    Hi Chandoo,
    I wish to Customise these tickets for one of my wedding ceremony.
    Basically I wanted to replace numbers with Names/Movies etc. So in total I will have 89 names and when the excel generates the numbers, the names should get replaced with it depending on how it is configured.
    eg : For Number 1 = DDLJ
    2 = DON , etc
    Can you please suggest the command to be written in excel which will support the above idea. It would be a great help.

    column 1 should contain 1 to 10, column 2 should contain 11 to 20 and so on... obviously you took out number 90 for formula convenience, but i think putting the right numbers into the right column would do the same, yet this way you make an authentic housie ticket... thanks for the post though, it helps me creating my own ticket generator.

    1. Can the ticket be numbered so that we can keep track who has taken which ticket.
    2. At this large number what is the probability or repeated tickets. You know we don't want to spend all in prices.
    I would be looking for options but any quick help would be greatly appreciated.

    While generating random tickets, I found below issues in a few tickets:
    1. Column without a single number
    2. This can be for 2 columns at times

    3. Columns with numbers in sequence (71, 72, 73)
    4. Another Ticket generated will also have the same sequence (71, 72, 73)

    If I have to distribute the tickets, I need to pick manually which is time consuming.

  74. anand M says:

    Hi,
    I am unable to see 90 number anywhere in the tickets , can you please let me know the reason for the same ?

    In the number generator apps, we have numbers from 1-90 so it is better to have 90 gets printed on the tickets as well.

    Please share your thoughts.

  75. Mahesh says:

    Hi,
    thanks for sharing this awesome excel for Bingo / Housie Ticket Generation.
    Just noted that many tickets have columns with no value at all.
    I understand that each column must have atleast one value.
    Can you please see and share an edited excel please.
    Many thanks for the awesome stuff you are doing.
    Cheers
    Mahesh

    There is a major flaw in your system. It does not have the number 90. I know you have removed it save the complexity but as it been more then 10 years since you provided us with this, I am sure you have evolved yourself to get the 90 in the tickets.

    Also 2nd major flaw is that there should be only 6 tickets in a page of Housie or 12 with 6 in one column side. The major key point here is in the set of 6 tickets all the numbers 1 to 90 should be covered once and not repeated.

    Can You resolve these 2 issues.

    Awaiting response.

    • ROHIT JHANWAR says:

      Yeah, unable to get number 90 due to complexity, kindly guide regarding how can we get the same.

  77. Kips says:

    Thanks Chandoo - That's an awesome application.
    How do I change the color of the tickets from amber to a different color?
    How can I add a unique ticket number to each ticket?

    Thanks Again.

  78. Akash says:

    Using this calculator, how many unique tickets can we create at the max? Is there also a way to generate 250 new tickets at a time instead of 24?

  79. Sachi says:

    Hi ,

    I am unable to generate new set by clicking F9. How can I do that ? thanks.

    Hello Chandoo,

    I'm not able to open the file in Excel 2019. It give me an error.

    "Excel cannot open or save anymore documents because there is not enough available memory or disk space."

    Kindly advise.

    Thanks.

    Hi There,
    I want to get 12 tickets of Housey Game in horizontal A/4 size paper.
    Please provide that or please inform if I can modify your Housie Ticket Generator, which provides 3 x 8 = 24 tickets per letter size paper. It is too small to handle.
    Regards

    hi chandoo,
    your bingo ticket generator is awesome....
    In this lockdown period finally I have found the solutions of not gettling any column blank and comes number 90 also in your bingo ticket generator....

  86. dg biyani says:

    This is really awsome. But there is one More rule that was not followed

    Tambola sheet have total 6 tickets per page. And in first colom of 5
    6 tickets that is 18 cells 1-9 are randomly filled

    I mean to say doubling of number shud be there in one sheet of 6 tickets. As usually every one buys full sheet. If this can be solved it would be perfect generator never seen in simple.way

    Hope i am clear. Uou can contact me 8125535581, oshiyaevents@gmail.com

    Hi,

    This is great, I cannot thank you enough .. it really was helpful for our family over these past few months.
    Missing number 90 is slight flaw, but it's easy to add that in

    FYI, we also discovered a free iPhone app called, "Bingo Cards & Tickets" which was also pretty helpful for my daughters
    (https://apps.apple.com/nz/app/bingo-cards-play-print/id1514415911)

    Thank you again

  91. Christian Salway says:

    This is no good. it can leave a column without a number, which is not correct rules.

  92. Mady says:

    Hi Chandoo
    I am trying to copy the tickets to another excel sheet but the generator seems to change the numbers every time I click for an excel action. Please guide me as to how can I copy these tickets to another excel sheet

    Hi Chando,

    5 x5 formate but that is in vba.

  94. Andy Globe says:

    Hello, chandoo this trick is tried and tested. Thanks for updating the useful content.

  95. Rahul says:

    Need a little help i am customising the excel and i need that the every 6 tickets rows don't repeat the same no.

  96. Jagdish kumar says:

    its a nice program but one last logic is missing. If you see any Tambola ticket book you will find all 90 numbers in any set of six tickets in a page. so please modify the generator program to get sets of 6 ticket at a time with all 90 numbers included in it. All other random number logics are ok

  97. anushree says:

    this is just great ! will it generate 700 all different random tickets? i need that many

  98. Sangeeta Aggarwal says:

    I want to create 1200 housie tkts ! Every 6 tickets must use all 90 numbers! And I want to change the background of the tickets! Also , I want to color some of the empty boxes! Is that possible ?
