The bigger the PivotTable, the bigger the potential improvement. Additionally, now if you disable Subtotals and Grand Totals, PivotTables can be much faster when refreshing, expanding, collapsing, and drilling into your data. It doesn’t matter if your PivotTables are connected to a tabular or multi-dimensional model, Any PivotTable connected to Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services, 3rd party OLAP providers, or the Power Pivot Powerful data analysis and data modeling in Excel will likely give you fresh data, faster. You could benefit from this work, whether you use PivotTables to answer one-off questions, or build complicated workbooks with dozens of PivotTables. The June 2016 update contains query and cache improvements in this powerful feature’s performance.

If you work with connections to OLAP servers, your PivotTables are now faster. This function combines text from multiple ranges, and each item is separated by a delimiter that you specify.

If no results match, the 'else' is returned. This function evaluates an expression against a list of values in order, and returns the first matching result. This function is similar to MAXIFS, but it returns the smallest number in a range, that meets a single or multiple criteria. This function returns the largest number in a range, that meets a single or multiple criteria. You can also specify an else 'catch all' if none of the conditions are met. With this function, conditions are tested in the order that you specify. Tired of typing complicated, nested IF functions? The IFS function is the solution. But it also supports range references, in addition to cell references. First of all, it's shorter and easier to type.

This new function is like CONCATENATE, but better.

We continue to make improvements with Excel, and its native functions.
