Excel Functions to Analyze Data

Recruiting right now but haven’t worked in a while. What are some of the must know functions/formulas yall use in excel to cut up information to analyze/present in decks/perform diligence on? Other than lookups or pivot tables

Sorry maybe I’m being dense but I’m not understanding how large would be helpful if you have a bunch of customer data for example?

Is it like sumif based on customer id —> roll up thousands of data entries into customer profiles —> rank customer —> % share of revenue gives you a “concentration”?
