The advanced formula environment has been updated to version 1.1. See the change log for more information.
We are excited to announce that LAMBDA and LAMBDA helper functions are now generally available to anyone using Production: Current Channel builds of Excel. In conjunction with LAMBDA going to production, we are also announcing the release of a new add-in, the advanced formula environment, sponsored by the Microsoft Garage and Microsoft Research, which allows easy import/export and authoring of named LAMBDAs.
Thanks to all of our Insiders for using the LAMBDA functions and giving us feedback! As a result we've also made a few changes that we'll outline below in addition to talking about the advanced formula authoring environment, a Microsoft Garage project.
Let’s start with a quick example.
IFBLANK
A task I regularly encounter is replacing certain values in a dataset, such as errors or blanks cells. Excel provides IFERROR to replace error values, but there is no function to replace blank cells. Fortunately, with LAMBDA, we can define our own function, IFBLANK.
Instead of authoring this in the grid and then importing to the name manager, I will instead author this in the new formula environment and then sync it to the workbook to make use of it in the grid.
In today’s scenario I am trying to create a quick count of the meals that have been requested for a dinner party I am hosting.
Without IFBLANK, Excel, by default returns a blank which gets coerced to 0 when placed in the cell. I could work around this but I also need to get a count of orders which I will do using MAP and REDUCE to author one formula so I can get updated counts as I continue to get more responses from guests.
Lets go over some improvements and changes we have made on our journey through Insiders to the LAMBDA feature in general.
Changes made to LAMBDA
Function tooltips
We have added support for function tooltips for named LAMBDAs in addition to auto-completing the open parentheses character when calling these functions. In other words, calling a function defined using a LAMBDA is exactly the same as calling a native function.
Recursion limit increase
We have upped the limit of recursion by 16 times its original limit. In this example, the text string is 3200 characters long and would have previously returned a #NUM when called with a LAMBDA that recursively reverses a text string.
LAMBDA helper function outputs
We changed the way that the LAMBDA helper functions handle arrays of references.
Previously when a LAMBDA helper function returned an array and the associated LAMBDA returns a single cell, a #CALC error would be returned. We have changed this to automatically return the cell value as the output of the LAMBDA function.
In this example, Excel would have returned a #CALC but now will return the results.
Advanced formula environment, a Microsoft Garage project
Today we are introducing a new tool to aid in the authoring of more complex named formulas. The advanced formula environment is a space where we are hoping to experiment and explore new and different methods for authoring formulas with special functionality designed with LAMBDAs and LET in mind.
Key features of the new tool:
Advanced formula authoring capabilities found in modern IDEs
Intellisense
Commenting
Inline errors
Auto tabulation
Code collapse
And more...
Undo/redo of formula edits within the manager
Namespaces to allow for groups of named functions
Import and export functionality
Text and GitHub Gist import
Different views to filter your names and edit in a single location
The environment is available on all platforms where Office Add-ins are available (Mac, Windows, Web)
Let's take a look at some of the functionality so you can get started with managing and editing your new and pre-existing named functions!
Manager and Editor Views
There are two major views contained within the advanced formula environment, Manager and Editor.
Manager
The Manager is where you will see all of your names with their own individual cards and associated quick actions. Much like the Name Manager but with more functionality.
Edit the name
Rename the formula
Delete the entry
Export the definition for sharing
Editor
The Editor is where you can go to edit all entries within the workbook or create new namespaces for collections of formulas.
This is where I usually go when I want to dive in to create more complex functions as you get the full version of the editor in this view and can create multiple names sequentially.
The workbook section contains all names which are not attached to a given sheet but instead are saved globally in the workbook.
Some of my favorite pieces of functionality are the ability to easily add new lines, tabulate sections of the formula while also being able to comment out pieces of my formula that I might be working on, or collapse definitions so I can more easily dig into specific areas. Not to mention, if I change my mind later, I can easily undo/redo any changes I am actively working on.
Here's another example I made for a chess game I have been building for fun in Excel.
Importing
The advanced formula environment can import definitions into the manager. You can important individual definitions as well as libraries of definitions via text or through GitHub Gists.
The main entry point for importing can be found by selecting the action in the actions bar. The main entry point defaults to “From URL” but the dropdown reveals the “From text” option.
If you’d like to try out this functionality yourself I am including a gist with some of the examples I created today on top of additional LAMBDAs I have used in prior posts. I think this is a better way to share than having you copy/paste from a blog post, so lets be the first to try it out!
aka.ms/LAMBDAGist (make sure to use the URL you are redirected to as the add-in doesn't let you use non gist paths)
We look forward to the libraries of LAMBDAs the community produces and hearing from you all about what does and doesn’t work in this new environment we have created.
Feedback
We are actively looking for feedback on the experience and would invite you to provide feedback either through techcommunity or by going to this github repository.
Accessing LAMBDA functions today
To get access to LAMBDA functions, please make sure you have updated to the latest version of Excel. Specifically versions greater than or equal to:
To access the advanced formula environment, simply search for the “advanced formula environment” within the built-in add-ins store of Excel and install it like any other Office add-in.
Go the Insert Tab
Select the Get Add-ins button
Search for “advanced formula environment”
Click the “Add” button
Once the add-in is installed, you should be able to find it on your home tab. The ribbon button looks like the picture below.
To learn more about LAMBDA and the advanced formula environment, please check out the links below and in the meantime we are excited to hear more about the ways you have used LAMBDA in your own workbooks!
LAMBDA is now available to Office 365 Subscribers in Production: Current Channel
To stay connected to Excel and its community, read the Excel blog posts and also follow Excel on Facebook and Twitter.
Do you have an idea to make Excel better? We'd love to hear about it. Go to the Excel forum in Microsoft Feedback to submit your idea or vote for other ideas. You can also click the Feedback button in Excel and choose "I have a suggestion".
A joint collaboration
The last thing I would like to mention is that all of this was done as a joint collaboration between Microsoft Research and Excel Engineering. It’s been a blast building out all the experiences you see today and it wouldn’t have been possible without the brilliant researchers at Microsoft Research Cambridge.

re checking parameter values, you could write an ASSERT() function, but this would likely slow things down.
e.g.
set a named value called ASSERT_ON to TRUE (or FALSE)
Define ASSERT as LAMBDA(condition, message, IF(ASSERT_ON, IF(NOT(condition), message, ""), ""))
Then you could use it like this:
LAMBDA( p1, p2,
assert_txt, ASSERT(ISNUMBER(p1), "P1 must be a number") & ASSERT(p2<>"", "P2 must not be blank"),
IF(assert_txt="",
LET(
...
),
assert_txt)
it's a bit messy but you can turn the error checking on and off with the ASSERT_ON value
I'd also suggest that giving your parameters a suitable name would help e.g. instead of p1, p2 above use input_number, non_blank_text to give a substantial clue to what is expected...
T_Nielsen_ sorry, when I write custom functions, I store them in source code files like .bas format in VBA. Then, I access as needed. Good luck, don't know answer.
Im curious about where to save and store my custom formulas, under names is the stuff saved in name manager and under modules we have something else which i understand is something different but im not sure what the difference is and when to use what.
some kind of guide / tutorial would be welcome to me.
Dev's: parameters in functions is a good step. but it would be nice if input parameters could be set with requirements and error messages separately from then main functions. if a formula requires input arrays to be single column og single row array of equal length and there needs to be a check if one array needs to be transposed or if some of the cells contains text, ISBLANK or something else it would be nice if there's checks could be done separately and for each error being able to set custom error messages. I understand for simple formulas it might not be needed. but for complex formulas that is going to be used by a group of people, it would help a great deal.
cool2021 Fair enough. I have developed interactive games using VBA in the past in which I simply used Excel for the graphics and user interface. Unlike you though, I prefer to perform the calculation within the worksheet if possible. The new Lambda functions are superb and can bring structure and readability to what was a highly unstructured and fragile way of developing solutions.
PeterBartholomew1 because there is always a data visualization component...like dashboard with charts and visuals...which is the third step in process that can also be automated with VBA after first two steps completed....all integrated...depends of course, whether user wants Tableau or other software...true...but I have developed some neat end to end process Excel VBA Dashboards...
Then again, why use Excel at all? If the worksheet is just a blank canvas to you, you could switch programming language and output results to a text file. "Just adjusting code" is not a normal part of spreadsheet use.

Today we are promoting LAMBDAs to production and releasing a new tool, Advanced Formula Environment, A Microsoft Garage Project.

November 17th 2022 Update
\n
The advanced formula environment has been updated to version 1.1. See the change log for more information.
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
We are excited to announce that LAMBDA and LAMBDA helper functions are now generally available to anyone using Production: Current Channel builds of Excel. In conjunction with LAMBDA going to production, we are also announcing the release of a new add-in, the advanced formula environment, sponsored by the Microsoft Garage and Microsoft Research, which allows easy import/export and authoring of named LAMBDAs.
\n
\n
Thanks to all of our Insiders for using the LAMBDA functions and giving us feedback! As a result we've also made a few changes that we'll outline below in addition to talking about the advanced formula authoring environment, a Microsoft Garage project.
\n
\n
Let’s start with a quick example.
\n
\n
IFBLANK
\n
A task I regularly encounter is replacing certain values in a dataset, such as errors or blanks cells. Excel provides IFERROR to replace error values, but there is no function to replace blank cells. Fortunately, with LAMBDA, we can define our own function, IFBLANK.
\n
\n
Instead of authoring this in the grid and then importing to the name manager, I will instead author this in the new formula environment and then sync it to the workbook to make use of it in the grid.
\n
\n
\n
In today’s scenario I am trying to create a quick count of the meals that have been requested for a dinner party I am hosting.
\n
\n
Without IFBLANK, Excel, by default returns a blank which gets coerced to 0 when placed in the cell. I could work around this but I also need to get a count of orders which I will do using MAP and REDUCE to author one formula so I can get updated counts as I continue to get more responses from guests.
Lets go over some improvements and changes we have made on our journey through Insiders to the LAMBDA feature in general.
\n
\n
Changes made to LAMBDA
\n
\n
Function tooltips
\n
We have added support for function tooltips for named LAMBDAs in addition to auto-completing the open parentheses character when calling these functions. In other words, calling a function defined using a LAMBDA is exactly the same as calling a native function.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Recursion limit increase
\n
We have upped the limit of recursion by 16 times its original limit. In this example, the text string is 3200 characters long and would have previously returned a #NUM when called with a LAMBDA that recursively reverses a text string.
\n
\n
\n
LAMBDA helper function outputs
\n
We changed the way that the LAMBDA helper functions handle arrays of references.
\n
\n
Previously when a LAMBDA helper function returned an array and the associated LAMBDA returns a single cell, a #CALC error would be returned. We have changed this to automatically return the cell value as the output of the LAMBDA function.
\n
\n
In this example, Excel would have returned a #CALC but now will return the results.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Advanced formula environment, a Microsoft Garage project
\n
Today we are introducing a new tool to aid in the authoring of more complex named formulas. The advanced formula environment is a space where we are hoping to experiment and explore new and different methods for authoring formulas with special functionality designed with LAMBDAs and LET in mind.
\n
\n
Key features of the new tool:
\n
\n
Advanced formula authoring capabilities found in modern IDEs\n
\n
Intellisense
\n
Commenting
\n
Inline errors
\n
Auto tabulation
\n
Code collapse
\n
And more...
\n
\n
\n
Undo/redo of formula edits within the manager
\n
Namespaces to allow for groups of named functions
\n
Import and export functionality\n
\n
Text and GitHub Gist import
\n
\n
\n
Different views to filter your names and edit in a single location
\n
\n
The environment is available on all platforms where Office Add-ins are available (Mac, Windows, Web)
\n
Let's take a look at some of the functionality so you can get started with managing and editing your new and pre-existing named functions!
\n
\n
Manager and Editor Views
\n
There are two major views contained within the advanced formula environment, Manager and Editor.
\n
\n
Manager
\n
The Manager is where you will see all of your names with their own individual cards and associated quick actions. Much like the Name Manager but with more functionality.
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
Edit the name
\n
\n
\n
\n
Rename the formula
\n
\n
\n
\n
Delete the entry
\n
\n
\n
\n
Export the definition for sharing
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Editor
\n
The Editor is where you can go to edit all entries within the workbook or create new namespaces for collections of formulas.
\n
\n
This is where I usually go when I want to dive in to create more complex functions as you get the full version of the editor in this view and can create multiple names sequentially.
\n
\n
The workbook section contains all names which are not attached to a given sheet but instead are saved globally in the workbook.
\n
\n
\n
Some of my favorite pieces of functionality are the ability to easily add new lines, tabulate sections of the formula while also being able to comment out pieces of my formula that I might be working on, or collapse definitions so I can more easily dig into specific areas. Not to mention, if I change my mind later, I can easily undo/redo any changes I am actively working on.
\n
\n
Here's another example I made for a chess game I have been building for fun in Excel.
\n
\n
\n
Importing

The advanced formula environment can import definitions into the manager. You can important individual definitions as well as libraries of definitions via text or through GitHub Gists.
\n
\n
The main entry point for importing can be found by selecting the action in the actions bar. The main entry point defaults to “From URL” but the dropdown reveals the “From text” option.
\n
\n
If you’d like to try out this functionality yourself I am including a gist with some of the examples I created today on top of additional LAMBDAs I have used in prior posts. I think this is a better way to share than having you copy/paste from a blog post, so lets be the first to try it out!
\n
\n
aka.ms/LAMBDAGist (make sure to use the URL you are redirected to as the add-in doesn't let you use non gist paths)
\n
\n
We look forward to the libraries of LAMBDAs the community produces and hearing from you all about what does and doesn’t work in this new environment we have created.

Accessing LAMBDA functions today
\n
To get access to LAMBDA functions, please make sure you have updated to the latest version of Excel. Specifically versions greater than or equal to:
To access the advanced formula environment, simply search for the “advanced formula environment” within the built-in add-ins store of Excel and install it like any other Office add-in.
\n\n
Go the Insert Tab
\n
Select the Get Add-ins button
\n
Search for “advanced formula environment”
\n
Click the “Add” button
\n\n
Once the add-in is installed, you should be able to find it on your home tab. The ribbon button looks like the picture below.
To learn more about LAMBDA and the advanced formula environment, please check out the links below and in the meantime we are excited to hear more about the ways you have used LAMBDA in your own workbooks!
LAMBDA is now available to Office 365 Subscribers in Production: Current Channel
\n
To stay connected to Excel and its community, read the Excel blog posts and also follow Excel on Facebook and Twitter.
\n
\n
Do you have an idea to make Excel better? We'd love to hear about it. Go to the Excel forum in Microsoft Feedback to submit your idea or vote for other ideas. You can also click the Feedback button in Excel and choose \"I have a suggestion\".

A joint collaboration
\n
The last thing I would like to mention is that all of this was done as a joint collaboration between Microsoft Research and Excel Engineering. It’s been a blast building out all the experiences you see today and it wouldn’t have been possible without the brilliant researchers at Microsoft Research Cambridge.

November 17th 2022 Update
\n
The advanced formula environment has been updated to version 1.1. See the change log for more information.
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
We are excited to announce that LAMBDA and LAMBDA helper functions are now generally available to anyone using Production: Current Channel builds of Excel. In conjunction with LAMBDA going to production, we are also announcing the release of a new add-in, the advanced formula environment, sponsored by the Microsoft Garage and Microsoft Research, which allows easy import/export and authoring of named LAMBDAs.
\n
\n
Thanks to all of our Insiders for using the LAMBDA functions and giving us feedback! As a result we've also made a few changes that we'll outline below in addition to talking about the advanced formula authoring environment, a Microsoft Garage project.
\n
\n
Let’s start with a quick example.
\n
\n
IFBLANK
\n
A task I regularly encounter is replacing certain values in a dataset, such as errors or blanks cells. Excel provides IFERROR to replace error values, but there is no function to replace blank cells. Fortunately, with LAMBDA, we can define our own function, IFBLANK.
\n
\n
Instead of authoring this in the grid and then importing to the name manager, I will instead author this in the new formula environment and then sync it to the workbook to make use of it in the grid.
\n
\n
\n
In today’s scenario I am trying to create a quick count of the meals that have been requested for a dinner party I am hosting.
\n
\n
Without IFBLANK, Excel, by default returns a blank which gets coerced to 0 when placed in the cell. I could work around this but I also need to get a count of orders which I will do using MAP and REDUCE to author one formula so I can get updated counts as I continue to get more responses from guests.
Lets go over some improvements and changes we have made on our journey through Insiders to the LAMBDA feature in general.
\n
\n
Changes made to LAMBDA
\n
\n
Function tooltips
\n
We have added support for function tooltips for named LAMBDAs in addition to auto-completing the open parentheses character when calling these functions. In other words, calling a function defined using a LAMBDA is exactly the same as calling a native function.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Recursion limit increase
\n
We have upped the limit of recursion by 16 times its original limit. In this example, the text string is 3200 characters long and would have previously returned a #NUM when called with a LAMBDA that recursively reverses a text string.
\n
\n
\n
LAMBDA helper function outputs
\n
We changed the way that the LAMBDA helper functions handle arrays of references.
\n
\n
Previously when a LAMBDA helper function returned an array and the associated LAMBDA returns a single cell, a #CALC error would be returned. We have changed this to automatically return the cell value as the output of the LAMBDA function.
\n
\n
In this example, Excel would have returned a #CALC but now will return the results.
\n
\n
\n
\n
Advanced formula environment, a Microsoft Garage project
\n
Today we are introducing a new tool to aid in the authoring of more complex named formulas. The advanced formula environment is a space where we are hoping to experiment and explore new and different methods for authoring formulas with special functionality designed with LAMBDAs and LET in mind.
\n
\n
Key features of the new tool:
\n
\n
Advanced formula authoring capabilities found in modern IDEs\n
\n
Intellisense
\n
Commenting
\n
Inline errors
\n
Auto tabulation
\n
Code collapse
\n
And more...
\n
\n
\n
Undo/redo of formula edits within the manager
\n
Namespaces to allow for groups of named functions
\n
Import and export functionality\n
\n
Text and GitHub Gist import
\n
\n
\n
Different views to filter your names and edit in a single location
\n
\n
The environment is available on all platforms where Office Add-ins are available (Mac, Windows, Web)
\n
Let's take a look at some of the functionality so you can get started with managing and editing your new and pre-existing named functions!
\n
\n
Manager and Editor Views
\n
There are two major views contained within the advanced formula environment, Manager and Editor.
\n
\n
Manager
\n
The Manager is where you will see all of your names with their own individual cards and associated quick actions. Much like the Name Manager but with more functionality.
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
Edit the name
\n
\n
\n
\n
Rename the formula
\n
\n
\n
\n
Delete the entry
\n
\n
\n
\n
Export the definition for sharing
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Editor
\n
The Editor is where you can go to edit all entries within the workbook or create new namespaces for collections of formulas.
\n
\n
This is where I usually go when I want to dive in to create more complex functions as you get the full version of the editor in this view and can create multiple names sequentially.
\n
\n
The workbook section contains all names which are not attached to a given sheet but instead are saved globally in the workbook.
\n
\n
\n
Some of my favorite pieces of functionality are the ability to easily add new lines, tabulate sections of the formula while also being able to comment out pieces of my formula that I might be working on, or collapse definitions so I can more easily dig into specific areas. Not to mention, if I change my mind later, I can easily undo/redo any changes I am actively working on.
\n
\n
Here's another example I made for a chess game I have been building for fun in Excel.
\n
\n
\n
Importing
\n
The advanced formula environment can import definitions into the manager. You can important individual definitions as well as libraries of definitions via text or through GitHub Gists.
\n
\n
The main entry point for importing can be found by selecting the action in the actions bar. The main entry point defaults to “From URL” but the dropdown reveals the “From text” option.
\n
\n

\n
\n
aka.ms/LAMBDAGist (make sure to use the URL you are redirected to as the add-in doesn't let you use non gist paths)
\n
\n
We look forward to the libraries of LAMBDAs the community produces and hearing from you all about what does and doesn’t work in this new environment we have created.

re checking parameter values, you could write an ASSERT() function, but this would likely slow things down.
e.g.
set a named value called ASSERT_ON to TRUE (or FALSE)
Define ASSERT as LAMBDA(condition, message, IF(ASSERT_ON, IF(NOT(condition), message, \"\"), \"\"))
Then you could use it like this:
LAMBDA( p1, p2,
assert_txt, ASSERT(ISNUMBER(p1), \"P1 must be a number\") & ASSERT(p2<>\"\", \"P2 must not be blank\"),
IF(assert_txt=\"\",
LET(
...
),
assert_txt)
it's a bit messy but you can turn the error checking on and off with the ASSERT_ON value
I'd also suggest that giving your parameters a suitable name would help e.g. instead of p1, p2 above use input_number, non_blank_text to give a substantial clue to what is expected...

Im curious about where to save and store my custom formulas, under names is the stuff saved in name manager and under modules we have something else which i understand is something different but im not sure what the difference is and when to use what.
some kind of guide / tutorial would be welcome to me.
Dev's: parameters in functions is a good step. but it would be nice if input parameters could be set with requirements and error messages separately from then main functions. if a formula requires input arrays to be single column og single row array of equal length and there needs to be a check if one array needs to be transposed or if some of the cells contains text, ISBLANK or something else it would be nice if there's checks could be done separately and for each error being able to set custom error messages. I understand for simple formulas it might not be needed. but for complex formulas that is going to be used by a group of people, it would help a great deal.

cool2021 Fair enough. I have developed interactive games using VBA in the past in which I simply used Excel for the graphics and user interface. Unlike you though, I prefer to perform the calculation within the worksheet if possible. The new Lambda functions are superb and can bring structure and readability to what was a highly unstructured and fragile way of developing solutions.

PeterBartholomew1 because there is always a data visualization component...like dashboard with charts and visuals...which is the third step in process that can also be automated with VBA after first two steps completed....all integrated...depends of course, whether user wants Tableau or other software...true...but I have developed some neat end to end process Excel VBA Dashboards...

Then again, why use Excel at all? If the worksheet is just a blank canvas to you, you could switch programming language and output results to a text file. \"Just adjusting code\" is not a normal part of spreadsheet use.
