New Functions Coming in Excel 2013


You’ll find several new functions in the math and trigonometry, statistical, engineering, date and time, look-up and reference, logical, and text function categories. Also new are a few Web service functions for referencing existing Representational State Transfer (REST)-compliant Web services.  To get more information on each Function, Click here.
