If these functions aren’t enough, or if a user is looking for a new function, many more of these functions can be added to Excel by installing the various add-ins that are available.
Most calculations can be achieved with what is provided. However, sometimes you are doing a tedious task, and before long you find yourself wishing that there was a function that did a particular job, and you can’t find anything suitable in the list. That’s when you need a UDF, or a “user-tailored” function.
