Overview


This webinar is for any user of Excel who works with large amounts of data and has data in multiple worksheets. Learning about the lookup functions will allow you to match data between databases.

Learn about the VLOOKUP function in Excel which enables you to quickly and easily look for a value down a column of data and return a value from the same row in a different column. Perfect for when working with large tabular data.

INDEX and MATCH work in a similar way but provide more flexibility.

In just one fast-paced and informative training session, you’ll learn how to use lookup functions to let you work with your data more efficiently and gain powerful new tools to help you manipulate data and make better business decisions.

Why you should Attend


If you handle large amounts of data in Excel, this webinar on how to use VLOOKUP, MATCH, and INDEX will help you tremendously.
The training will be delivered using Excel 2016 for Windows although, for users of earlier versions, most of the functionality is available in Excel 2010 and Excel 2013.

  • Learning the arguments in the VLOOKUP function
  • Understanding the importance of absolute references within many lookup functions

  • Discovering how to use wildcards and multiple criteria within lookup formulas
  • Using VLOOKUP to lookup data from another workbook

  • Use the IFERROR function to display something other than an #N/A error value when VLOOKUP can’t find a match
  • Seeing how the HLOOKUP function enables you to perform horizontal matches
  • Learning why the INDEX and MATCH combination often is superior to VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP
  • Using the MATCH function to find the position of an item on a list
  • Perform dual lookups, allowing you to look across columns and down rows to cross-reference data you need
