Excel 2013 new functions available for your old version of Excel

The listing below shows the Excel 2013 new function that is available for Excel 2010, 2007 and 2003. The matching Excel PowerUps function is in parentheses after the name and can be used within Excel 2013 as well. You’ll notice that each of the PowerUp functions has a prefix of “pwr”. This is done to avoid name collisions with other functions you may have. All you need to do is install the add-in pack and your copy of Excel will have the matching function as noted below.
