Excel Quick Tips

1. How to create dynamic names in Excel? What if I want to write P&L : Company name and when I change the company name the P&L : remains same but th company name changes ? This is required because we use a single model for many companies and situation so rather than manually doing this everytime, why not create a automatic formula.  The formula is ="P&L:"&"cell reference of the company name". 2. What are the Custom formatting means ? 1. Positive Numbers  2. Negative Numbers  3. How to display 0s 4. How to display text  For example : # #; [Red](# #); - So in this what will happen the positive number will be having space in thousands, then the second which we separated by ";" will show in red and brackets with space in thousands, then the third in place of 0 "-" will show and for the last we left it as nothing because we were working on numbers.  3.

Basics of Financial Modelling

Image
Half Mapped  What's better than understanding the real concepts of Financial Modelling from someone who has actual real time experience. Blog Dedicated to Ritik Prasad , thanks for teaching this.  Concept 1 Can you find out the Repayment amount ?  The first thing I learned is you have to create a system rather than just a working financials which needs to be manually changed by going on different cells. To do that we have to create a system of things here's the Example :  So the Given data as a excercise was that we have a Loan of ₹ 500 and Interest of 10% where we have to repay ₹ 40 per year , as calculated 500/40=12.5, and moratorium is of 2 years.  But we will calculate first without moratorium.  After the 2nd year I have just dragged the formula, if you have question why I have taken 15 yrs ? Because 12.5 yrs was coming as per my calculation above + 2yrs of Moratorium comes 14.5 = ~15.  Now with Moratorium :  Calculation :  I have dragge...

How to do Forecasting of Financials ?

Image
I'm learning this from youtube videos. Two methods of taking forecast :  1. Through Formula  In this we use =forecast(Xs,knownYs,knowYs) Eg : In this we will already had data till 2024, we had put in the formula =forecast(2025,Revenue (2019:2024), Year (2019:2024)) 2. Forecast on the Data Tab ! We have taken the same data as the 1st formula ! These are for one line data and provide very accurate answers, but for more and better data one need to understand the technicality of growth and it's rate. 

What AI I use in Investment Banking ?

AI is no less than an extended arm to my daily work, although the sensitive information always need to be covered up and not disclosed.  My No. 1 AI is :  A. NoteBookLM  It's a Google Product and gives you very accurate answer by reading the Web Link and PDF as source to it. Even you can go and recheck the answer by sources and it specifically mark it for you.  It helps a lot specifically for Rules and Regulations that are 200-500 pgs long and it take a lot of effort to do it all together by yourself.  It almost cut short time by half.  B. ChatGPT  It is very common but very few of us understand how to use it ? The chatGPT works with very clear goals defined and the reason you need the result and then provide a good resource to it if  possible and it will give you really perfect answer.  My tip is that always make GPT remember your last conversation in the same context and it will give you more better result.  C. Perplexity  It is i...
