Basic formulas are here to stay – use them with style

As noted in the Breaking the Model’s philosophy, there a gazillion – yes, literally a gazillion – ways to do any task in Excel. This section discusses formulas mentioned anywhere else on this site, extending slightly beyond pure reference material by commenting on usage and style for each family of formulas.

What sets Breaking the Model apart from other websites offering Excel reference is that this site advocates for systematic and efficient use of formulas. As such, formulas will be presented in functional groups with recommendations to streamline workflow. These articles will be cross linked with posts that focus on real-world applications.
