GroupBy() – a pivot table alternative

In this blog post I want to explore how to use one of the newer dynamic array functions called GroupBy. In conventional Excel formulas, you create your formula and copy it down. With a dynamic array function, you create the formula and it captures all the data that relates to it.  The beauty of it is if you use a table with it and then add more data to the table, your formula updates automatically to show that.

However you do need to be aware that you can only edit a dynamic array function where you originally entered it. You can’t edit it anywhere else.

In this tutorial I give you an overview of how you could use this function.

This is the original file and here is the finished file

You have a data source to play with and you can get a more detailed dive into it here. .

There is another tutorial here on it as well. 

I do have some questions about it as a function (which I talk about in the video) but this could be something I am missing.
