Basic Example

In LAMBDA formula we will calculate area of right-angled triangle as you can see we have triangle in which we have to find area as you can see we have given the value of base and height.

Area Formula = 1/2(base)*(Height)

Now we will apply the LAMBDA formula and see what will be the value.

=LAMBDA(base,height, (1/2)*base*height)(B7,C7)

Creating-LAMBDA-function

Now we know the value of the area of all the given values.

Calculate volume of sphere (Use with Name manager)

We will use some formula to find the volume of Sphere. To simplify the formula, we will refer to the new name(Spherevol) formula by going to the formula tag and clicking in the name manager

Excel-LAMBDA-function

(=LAMBDA(Radius, (4/3)*PI()*(Radius^3))

by referring to the formula) We do not have to apply this formula again and again in every single cell.

Calculate-volume-of-sphere

As you can see in the image given below that the radius of sphere is given, so now we will apply the LAMBDA formula.

Now Press enter and extract Formula in cells so then we got value of sphere volume.
