Using complex excel function in financial modelling (Accounting, M&A, LBO, Valuation)

Hey monkeys, 

I am training in excel and I was wondering by this question: When do we use for instance "index-match" or "sum-product function" in financial statements, DCF, LBO or even a Merger Model. 
Could you please give some real-life example ? 

Thanks,
