As part of our Research Software Camp: Beyond the Spreadsheet we have various presentations introducing LAMBDA in Excel. 

LAMBDA is a new feature of Microsoft Excel that allows you to define custom functions using Excel’s formula language. The Microsoft Research Lambda Editor allows you to edit and organise named LAMBDA functions with ease, as if Excel formulas were program code.

In the presentations staff from Microsoft Research discuss the programming possibilities opened up by LAMBDA in Excel – the world’s most widely used programming language – and to outline some research challenges.

Find out more and view the presentations on LAMBDA.

Andy Gordon from Microsoft Research will also be taking part in our discussion panel on 'Do we have the right tools for research?' taking place online on Friday 5 November, from 2 to 3pm GMT. Find out more about the other tools being represented and register to attend the panel here.

Our Research Software Camp: Beyond the Spreadsheet will run from 1st to 12th November 2021. We will focus on the uses of spreadsheets in research and the next steps into further use of software in research. View the full programme and sign up to our various sessions.
