Many Excel users rely on VLOOKUP to return data from other locations in a worksheet. However, using VLOOKUP isn't always the most efficient approach. Among other things, you will learn alternatives to use, including the INDEX and MATCH, SUMIFS, SUMPRODUCT, IFNA, and OFFSET functions. You will see each technique demonstrated at least twice: first, on a PowerPoint slide with numbered steps, and second, in Excel 2019. You will identify differences in Excel 2016, 2013, or 2010 and will receive detailed handouts. You will also receive an Excel workbook that includes the examples presented during the webinar. You will learn how to: - Eliminate inputs that could cause VLOOKUP to return #N/A with Data Validation
- Transform numbers stored as text into values by way of the Text to Columns wizard
- Identify the risks of the LOOKUP function in Excel
- Utilize Excel's IFERROR function to display alternate values when VLOOKUP returns an error
- Use VLOOKUP to perform approximate matches
- Enable VLOOKUP to look up data from the left (instead of only from the right) by using the CHOOSE function
- Use the SUMIFS function to sum values based on multiple criteria
- Future-proof VLOOKUP by using Excel's Table feature versus referencing static ranges
- Remove the Table feature from a worksheet if it's no longer needed
- Avoid the complexity of nested IF statements with Excel's CHOOSE function
Upon course completion, you will be able to: - Identify what you can use in place of the word TRUE in VLOOKUP to return an approximate match
- Recall which menu contains the Text to Columns wizard
- Define the arguments for the INDEX worksheet function
