A common task for finance professionals is to create YTD (Year-To-Date) calculations in Microsoft Excel. Usually these formulas can get quite complex. You might use a combination of SUMPRODUCT and OFFSET. In this video I'll show you a solution using the new Excel SCAN function. We create a flexible YTD function so that you can easily adjust for fiscal months. If you get more data, the Year to date calculations automatically update.

Discover how to:
⩥ Use the SCAN function for simple to-date calculations, allowing formulas to automatically spill down without manual dragging.
⩥ Integrate LAMBDA functions with SCAN for custom calculations, enabling you to process data with precision.
⩥ Dynamically calculate YTD values, adjusting for new calendar years within your data set to reset accumulations accurately.
⩥ Apply practical examples with sales data to see the SCAN function in action, demonstrating both to-date and YTD calculations.
⩥ Adjust for fiscal calendars, showing how to modify the formula for different fiscal year starts, ensuring versatility across various accounting periods.

We'll combine the SCAN, LAMBDA and Excel OFFSET functions to create a (simple) formula that dynamically updates your results and resets whenever it crosses a year-end.

Note: The SCAN function is available in Microsoft 365.
