Ever had to sum data based on multiple criteria situated in different Microsoft Excel worksheets? This article provides a quick tour of INDIRECT references and Table functionality while combining qualities of the SUMPRODUCT function with the SUMIFS function, providing a solution to the mother-of-all Multiple Criteria problems. The functionality is best explained by walking through an example: Ivana: Car Sales has four divisions, cunningly called North, South, East and West. Each quarter, the four divisions are required to submit sales reports detailing the month of sale, the sales person, the car color and the price the car was sold for. www.office.com/setup The question is: how can you determine how many red cars Charlie sold in February in total across all four divisions? The answer would be fairly straightforward if the data were all on one worksheet. For a single criterion, SUMIF would cope admirably well, while for several criteria, SUMPRODUCT could be used to generate the answer (for further information see my blog posts on the SUMPRODUCT function and approaches to addressing multiple criteria in one worksheet).

WWW.OFFICE.COM/SETUP BLOGS: www.office.com/setup Blogs: In this module, you will learn how to use the Calendar Visualization Power BI Custom Visual. The Calendar Visualization is a very unique visual that allows you to show the distribution of values across a calendar. MODULE 11 - CALENDAR VISUALIZATION DOWNLOADS Power BI Custom Visual - Calendar Visualization Dataset - Sales by Date.xlsx Completed Example - Module 10 - Calendar Visualization.pbix KEY TAKEAWAYS Allows you to visualize a data point on each date on the calendar. The darker the color, the higher the value or density of values. If you have multiple rows on the same date, they are aggregated together The Calendar Visualization can be used for cross filtering. Meaning you can select a square in the calendar and it will filter other visuals down to the date you picked. image - www.office.com/setup This shows a business which has a much higher number of sales occurring on weekdays. Saturday is a particularly weak sales day and no sales occur on Sunday. You should note when you use a date column into Power BI that by default it places it into a date hierarchy. For the purposes of the Calendar Visualization, this hierarchy is not helpful because you need all the values to be at a date level and not Year, Month, etc… To turn off the auto generated hierarchy for this visual, click the down arrow next to the Date field and turn off the Date Hierarchy option as shown below. image - www.office.com/setup This only applies to this one visual so if you bring in Date again it will auto generate the hierarchy again. Or you can change the Power BI settings so it never auto generates date hierarchies for you again. To do this go to File > Options and settings > Options > Data Load and then uncheck Auto Date/Time. image - www.office.com/setup Under the Format paintbrush there are minimal options for customizing the appearance of the Calendar Visualization. The Cells color section gives you the abil

WWW.OFFICE.COM/SETUP BLOGS: GO TEAM! THAT'S WHAT OFFICE 2016 IS BUILT TO ENCOURAGE, WITH NEW COLLABORATIVE TOOLS AND OTHER WAYS TO TIE WORKERS AND CONTENT TOGETHER. pcw office primary 2 - www.office.com/setup www.office.com/setup Blogs: Office 2016 is a major upgrade, but not in the way you'd first suppose. Just as Windows 10 ties notebooks, desktops, phones and tablets together, and adds a layer of intelligence, Office 2016 wants to connect you and your coworkers together, using some baked-in smarts to help you along. I tested the client-facing portion of Office 2016. Microsoft released the trial version of Office 2016 in March as a developer preview with a focus on administrative features (data loss protection, multi-factor authentication and more) that we didn't test. I've been using it since the consumer preview release in May. Microsoft seeded reviewers with a Microsoft Surface 3 with the "final code" upon it. That's a slight misnomer, as the Office 2016 apps upon it used the same version that Microsoft had tested with the public, with a few exceptions: Outlook was pre-populated with links and contacts of a virtual company to give reviewers the look and feel of Delve, Outlook's new Groups feature, and more. Office 2013 users can rest easy about one thing: Office 2016's applications are almost indistinguishable from their previous versions in look and feature set. To the basic Office apps, Microsoft has added its Sway app for light content creation, and the enterprise information aggregator, Delve. Collaboration in the cloud is the real difference with Office 2016. Office now encourages you to share documents online, in a collaborative workspace. Printing out a document and marking it up with a pen? Medieval. Even emailing copies back and forth is now tacitly discouraged. office 2016 review powerpoint demo shot - www.office.com/setupMicrosoft Microsoft says its new collaborative workflow reflects how people do things now, from study groups

Today's guest blogger is Javier Vasquez, Senior Director of Productivity Sales, State and Local Government at Microsoft. For the past 15 years, Javier has helped public sector customers implement solutions that help them realize value in their technology investments. As government agencies prepare for this week's Lean Government Virtual Summit, cloud innovation will surely be a hot topic. So why should governments choose Microsoft Office 365 as they consider moving their productivity software to the cloud? The infographic below highlights the advantages of Office 365 versus Google Apps for government agencies. As you can see from the infographic, the benefits of Office 365 are many: Office 365 offers governments substantial cost savings. Governments can rest assured their information is protected and their tools accessible to people with visual and hearing impairments. Office 365 makes it easy for governments to meet email retention policies and fulfill legal discovery requests. Governments have the tools they need to be highly responsive to the citizens they serve. As Todd Kimbriel, Director of E-Government for the Texas Department of Information Resource, puts it: "No other solution provides the rich capabilities of Office 365, including web conferencing, real-time collaboration, and document and calendar sharing." We hope you find the infographic helpful! Also, please note that officials from the City of Kansas City, Missouri and the U.S. Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board will be discussing their experiences with Office 365 at the Lean Government Virtual Summit.

Last week, we welcomed Brian Solis, Altimeter principal analyst, thought leader and book author, to Yammer HQ to give a fireside chat, followed by signing of his new book: "What's The Future of Business?" I was thrilled to interview Brian, and we covered a variety of really meaty subjects - just check out the video below! The theme of the evening was transformation - transformation that is happening in our lives as individuals, how we relate to each other through technology and what we as businesses must do to stay relevant to the connected customer. Even the book itself is transformation of the book publishing convention. Unlike a regular, information-dense business book, "What's the Future of Business" attempts to bring together the best of both worlds: hard-hitting facts and practical frameworks, as well as a visual experience. The experience of the book is just as important as the content therein. What is the future of business? The future of business is experience, according to Solis. We as connected consumers make decisions outside of the sales funnel that companies have organized themselves around. We reference experiences of consumers who came before us, and contribute our own experiences to this dynamic tapestry. When consumers share, they are reacting to an experience, and the future of any business depends on its ability to provide experiences that are worth sharing. In his talk, Brian talked about the 4 moments of truth that add up to shareable experiences. At every stage of the customer journey, it is our job as businesses to design an experience to trigger the sharing of a moment. The Zero Moment of Truth comes when the consumer is starting to explore choices and is just becoming aware of needs and possible solutions. 1st Moment of Truth happens when the consumer is ready to buy. Consumer packaged goods companies have perfected providing the right experience at this point. 2nd Moment of Truth happens after the consumer purchases,

Editor's note: Since this article was originally published in April 2013, Project codename "GeoFlow" has been renamed Power Map as part of the new Power BI for Office 365 offering. Today we are announcing the availability of the project codename "GeoFlow" Preview for Excel 2013, a result of collaborations between several teams within Microsoft. GeoFlow lets you plot geographic and temporal data visually, analyze that data in 3D, and create interactive "tours" to share with others. GeoFlow originated in Microsoft Research, evolving out of the successful WorldWide Telescope project for scientific and academic communities to explore large volumes of astronomical and geological data. Researchers collaborated closely with the Office product team to usher GeoFlow from its research lab inception to this public preview availability in Excel. GeoFlow adds to the existing self-service Business Intelligence capabilities in Excel 2013, such as Microsoft Data Explorer Preview and Power View, to help discover and visualize large amounts of data, from Twitter traffic to sales performance to population data in cities around the world.
