If you do not include an optional argument, Excel will use the default value for that argument.

What exactly is an optional argument in Excel?
An argument is something inside the brackets of a function that is needed for it to work. An optional argument is an argument that can be left out, in which case a default value is often used. So the function will work with or without the optional argument. For example, if you are using the MATCH function you must specify what it is searching for and the range it is searching in. Those two arguments have to be put in, or it won't work. You can also specify what way it searches, using an optional argument. The MATCH function will find the largest value that is less than or equal to what you searching for if you put in 1, with the values in ascending order. Putting in 0 means it must find an exact match. It will find the smallest value that is less than or equal to what you searching for if you put in -1, with values having to be in descending order. If you leave it out completely, it uses 1 as the default.
Where to use overloading?
Default arguments are often considered to be optional arguments, however a default argument is only optional in the sense that the caller need not provide a value for it. The function must still instantiate the argument and must assign the appropriate value to it so, insofar as the function is concerned, the argument is not optional. To implement a function with a truly optional argument, we can define two overloads of that function, one that accepts the optional argument (without specifying a default value) and one that does not accept the argument. In this way we can define two different implementations, one that uses the argument and one that does not. void f (); // implementation that does not use the argument void f (int); // implementation that does use the argument In many cases, a default argument incurs no significant overhead over that of overloading. Thus we'd only use overloading to implement an optional argument where there is a significant overhead incurred by a default argument. Even so, we must also be aware that by eliminating the overhead within the function itself we may simply be passing that overhead back to the callers, because some or all of them would then have to decide which overload to call, resulting in code duplication that would likely be best handled by the function itself.
