SEQUENCE

 The SEQUENCE function in Excel is a powerful tool for generating a sequence of numbers. It can be expanded to include data and formulas in various ways. Below are 10 examples of how you can use the SEQUENCE function, including data and formulas:

1. Basic Sequence

Generate a simple sequence of numbers from 1 to 10.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(10)

2. Sequence with Start and Step

Generate a sequence starting from 5 with a step of 2.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(10, 1, 5, 2)

3. Two-Dimensional Sequence

Generate a 5x5 grid of numbers starting from 1.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(5, 5)

4. Sequence with Dates

Generate a sequence of dates starting from today.

excel
Copy
=TODAY() + SEQUENCE(10) - 1

5. Sequence with Custom Formula

Generate a sequence where each number is multiplied by 2.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(10) * 2

6. Sequence with Random Numbers

Generate a sequence of 10 random numbers between 1 and 100.

excel
Copy
=RANDARRAY(10, 1, 1, 100, TRUE)

7. Sequence with Conditional Formatting

Generate a sequence and apply conditional formatting to highlight even numbers.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(10)

Then apply conditional formatting with the formula:

excel
Copy
=MOD(A1, 2) = 0

8. Sequence with Lookup

Generate a sequence and use it to lookup values in another table.

excel
Copy
=INDEX(AnotherTable, SEQUENCE(10), 2)

9. Sequence with Concatenation

Generate a sequence and concatenate it with text.

excel
Copy
="Item " & SEQUENCE(10)

10. Sequence with Dynamic Range

Generate a sequence that dynamically adjusts based on another cell's value.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(A1)

Where A1 contains the number of elements you want in the sequence.

Example with Data and Formulas

Let's say you have a list of products in column A and their prices in column B. You want to generate a sequence of discounts and calculate the discounted prices.

  1. Generate Discount Sequence: Generate a sequence of discounts from 10% to 100% in steps of 10%.

excel
Copy
=SEQUENCE(10, 1, 0.1, 0.1)
  1. Calculate Discounted Prices: Use the sequence to calculate discounted prices.

excel
Copy
=B2 * (1 - SEQUENCE(10, 1, 0.1, 0.1))
  1. Combine with Product Names: Combine the product names with the discounted prices.

excel
Copy
=A2 & " - " & B2 * (1 - SEQUENCE(10, 1, 0.1, 0.1))

These examples demonstrate the versatility of the SEQUENCE function in Excel, allowing you to create dynamic and flexible spreadsheets.
