Complete List of Excel Database Functions References and Examples

Excel Database Functions are designed to help you to work within a database (i.e. a large number of organised data records), stored in Excel.

The database functions perform basic calculations, such as sum, average, count, etc, but they also use criteria arguments, that allow you to only perform the calculation for a specified subset of the records in your database. Other records in the database are ignored.

Here’s a full list of Built-In Database Functions in Excel and their Descriptions below:
