The AGGREGATE function is the Swiss Army Knife of functions; it’s so versatile it can replace these 19 Excel functions in one fell swoop:
AVERAGE, COUNT, COUNTA, MAX, MIN, PRODUCT, STDEV.S, STDEV.P, SUM, VAR.S, VAR.P, MEDIAN, MODE.SNGL, LARGE, SMALL, PERCENTILE.INC, QUARTILE.INC, PERCENTILE.EXC, QUARTILE.EXC
But that’s not reason enough to use it, the function-killer reason to use AGGREGATE over any of the 19 standard functions it can replace is because it is far more powerful. Let me show you.

    Hi Mynda, I learn a lot with each of your videos! Many thanks! I have one question regarding the "calculation" for the result in 4:32: The results from the >average function (without errors) are divided by the array of the viewers. How is this working in the background? I don't get it. Not sure if my question is clear. So I'll try this way, too to hopefully can transfer what I mean: If I divide an Array through a subset of the same array: What is there calculated in the background? Many thanks for any help. 🙂

    I disagree. If you use any of the options numbers that ignore hidden rows (i.e. 1,3,5,7), AGGREGATE ignores rows hidden using the filters OR manually hiding them with right-click. Whereas SUBTOTAL will not ignore rows hidden using right-click > Hide Row when using function numbers 1 through 11.
