Do you know about MS EXCEL ? if yes then great but for newbies i would like to write few lines about it first ! So, Excel is an application which has features like
calculation, graphic tools, pivot charts and micro programing (VB). Microsoft
excel provides special features to present data in smart way, with ease of
work. Professional has to work smartly to manage the work load & to convert
data in to information.
Here i am going to teach you about some uncommon tools and some daily use tools for MS Ecxel.
V lookup:
What is V lookup in excel ?
This function is used to stack of number‘s in to a
desired information. One can easily find data from vertically align tables,
which associated with the value entered by the user.
Now we want some specific information from the
below mentioned table, we want to find the price in the new spread sheet. We
want to search the price of “Air
Conditioners” in the below table.
Now we will add our formula in cell H2, you can add it to any other cell or any other spread sheet.
Steps:
1-
Start the formula
with sign (=), type the formula name.
2-
Adding Arguments:
a. Add the first argument in the formula, our argument
is “Air Conditioners”, e.g =vlooup(“Air Conditioners”.
b. Now add 2nd
arguments it is, the range of data “A2:B:20”,
e.g =vlookup(“Air
Conditioners”,A2:B20. Note: the vlookup will always search the 1st column in this range, check the formulas before moving the columns.
c. The 3rd argument is the coloumn index
number, The 1st columns in the range is 1 and the 2ns is 2. In this
case we have to fine the price of the products so our index columns will be 2,
e.g =vlookup(“Air Conditioners”,A2:B20,2
d. The 4th argument will be to look for “approximate matches or exact matches”, it
can be True or False. If you enter True it will search for approximate match
and if enter False it search ofr exact
match it. In this case we looked for exact match so enter false and close the parenthesis. e.g =vlookup(“Air Conditioners”,A2:B20,2,false.
and the answer will apper
when you will press the enter.
