Volatile Functions: types and alternatives | Benjamin Weber
Details
SESSION DETAILS
Volatile Functions in Excel are tricky, while they are useful in a lot of circumstances, they bring a lot of risk into your spreadsheet, including a heavy increase of the calculation time. Benjamin Weber will explain the different types of Volatile Functions, how and when to use them as well as ways to create (almost) the same value without using them.
