Excel Lambda Function (Examples) - All You Need to Know!

In this video, I show you how to use the LAMBDA function in Excel (with multiple examples).
Lambda function allows you to create your own functions and use them in Excel without using any programming such as VBA or JavaScript.
I will start with some basic examples showing you how to create a Lambda function and then use it in Excel, and then cover some advanced examples.
As the last example, I also covered how to use Recursive Lambdas in Excel (which allows you to loop through cells using a formula by calling a function from within a function)

Great explanation! Thanks

[@stevereed5776]

The best explanation of the LAMBDA function I have seen, especially the recursive LAMBDA. Thank you

[@agnvstosantras8599]

More than Perfect. Yes: More and More and More !!!!!

[@user-ql5mm8nj8q]

God bless this man

[@canirmalchoudhary8173]

Nice LAMBDA explanation. One thing I would like to add for recursive LAMBDA is that the calculation part of LAMBDA is as same as standard substitute function. First substitute formula result became text, offset because old text and new text respectively for ReplaceCode formula.

[@mcegirl4]

I love your videos - you've taught me so much! Your thorough explanations make complex concepts easier to understand.

[@ES-IvanCortinas]

Thank you Sumit. Great explanation.

[@trumpexcel]

Thanks Iván 🙂

[@vishalmittalsvlog4381]

Bhai Dil se thank you. I am MIS but sometimes I stuck I usually watch your video and it helps a lot. Great knowledge and best way to explain. Thank you again ❤

[@neelalam]

Very good and effective, also I always like your very clean, clear and optimal presentation.

[@trumpexcel]

Thank you 😊

[@jhankhanajani9314]

Thank you verry much Sumit!! I have gone through this video in one go and understand the overview of the concept of the Lambda function - it simplifies the working of the formula however I realized, I will need to go through this video multiple times to get command over this kind of function, Very grateful to you for sharing such wonderful video and surprise with, sharing the video on your youtube channel how you manage to send the email also for new video updates.

[@noelgreen6198]

Very good explanation, thank you.

[@IlaPatel811]

Great explanation, Thanks!

[@Garimaish]

Very helpful sumit, thanks for sharing

[@trumpexcel]

Thanks Garima... Glad you found it helpful 🙂

[@daXcel7448]

=COUNTA(TEXTSPLIT(B2," ")) gives the word count.. A less verbose solution. Thanks for the video!

[@HarshilMarwadi]

Can you explain the recursive lambda function with more examples in another video

[@trumpexcel]

Sure... Will make more on recursive Lambda

[@seenu99250]

Great.

[@ExcelWithChris]

Loved this. How can I use a Lambda from one file in another file?

[@gaganwadhwafreelancer]

Will these lambda formula works there also if i share my workbook with other also

[@abidejaz1090]

It's like we are creating functions in different languages like php or c++ and java

[@akalarun]

From the accountant point of view how to use lambda function using lamda helper functions like vstack, hstack, textjoin, etc 31:07

[@rajan522]

How can we use lookup function using lambda

[@ashitshroff]

Lambda function requires a basic function. Why would I than add one the Lambda function over the basic function?

[@joukenienhuis6888]

Wow, I have not seen your videos for a while, but you look great and you have lost weight ! Or am I mixing you with another Excel expert 🤔🧐 I noticed you always write the lambda function in the cell first (and hit enter)before you go to the name manager. Isn’t it easier to go directly to the namemanager and copy the formula and place the text lambda before it?

[@trumpexcel]

Welcome back 🙂 Yes, have lost weight and trying to live a more active and healthy lifestyle. Regarding Lambda, I write in a cell as I can test it there and when I am sure it works, I can then add it to Name manager. But that's just how I do it. You can add Lambda to the formula in the Name Manager itself. Also, when creating a video, it's easier for me show people the formula first and in the cell, and when I am done explaining, I can make a Lambda out of it

[@surajbhardwaj428]

LAMBDA funtion looks powerful. But as you showing combination of formula is so complicated 😂 How can i do this😅😅

[@trumpexcel]

It does take some time to get used to. My suggestion would be to take any big formula you have and convert it into a Lambda. That will give you more ideas on how to use it
