Modern Excel lets you write and reuse custom functions. These can be as simple as multiplying some numbers together, and as complex as a full computer program (recursion and all). In this session, Diarmuid Early will quickly cover the basics of how and why to write custom functions, and then share some tips and best practices on how to make them as robust and reliable as possible.
