In this webinar, you'll learn how and when to use lookup functions – including the VLOOKUP function – in Excel, and troubleshooting techniques to ensure your lookup functions are working properly. Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: - Apply the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions to work more efficiently in Excel
- Improve the integrity of spreadsheets by way of Excel's VLOOKUP function
- Manage subtle issues that can prevent lookup functions from working properly
- Use wildcards and multiple criteria within lookup formulas
- Identify the risks of linked workbooks, determine if a workbook contains links, and describe how links can hide within Excel features
- Arrange two worksheets from within the same workbook on-screen and at the same time
- Perform dual lookups to cross-reference the data you need
- Describe how the HLOOKUP function enables you to perform horizontal matches
- Recognize when you might wish to use ISERROR or ISNA instead of IFERROR
- Utilize other excel functions, including:
- Excel's Filter feature to quickly scan a column for # sign errors
- Excel's TRIM function to eliminate extraneous spaces that can compromise lookup functions
- The IFERROR function to display something other than #N/A when VLOOKUP can't find a match
- The MATCH function to find the position of an item on a list
- The VLOOKUP to perform approximate matches
