Part 3/8:
Interestingly, DSUM performed comparably to SUMIFS, and the two functions yielded similar speed outcomes. However, DSUM is generally more structured, allowing users to specify both "and" and "or" criteria in a more concise manner. This not only enhances readability but also simplifies formula management.
The next logical questions arose when we considered the performance of other aggregation methods, such as using the FILTER function and SUMPRODUCT. Surprisingly, while these methods can be valuable in certain situations, they exhibited a marked decrease in speed when compared to DSUM, SUMIFS, and DSUM.
