    (g) AVERAGEIFS (should accept up to 255 range / criteria pairs)
    (h) COUNTIFS (should accept up to 255 range / criteria pairs)
    (i) MAXIFS (should accept up to 255 range / criteria pairs)
    (j) MINIFS (should accept up to 255 range / criteria pairs)
    (k) IFS  (should accept up to 255 test / result pairs)
    (l) SWITCH  (should accept up to 255 value / result pairs)
