This document discusses Excel database functions that perform calculations on subsets of data in a database table based on criteria. It provides the syntax and overview of several common database functions, including DAVERAGE, DCOUNT, DCOUNTA, DGET, DMIN, DPRODUCT, DSTDEV, and DSUM. These functions allow the user to calculate metrics like average, count, minimum, product, and sum on only the records in the database that match specified criteria, rather than the entire dataset.
