A lesson from the course

In this lesson from The Excel Functions Guide, you’ll learn the VLOOKUP function from the chapter “Lookup and reference”. The function looks for a given value in the leftmost column, and returns a value in another column on the same row. VLOOKUP is used to search and retrieve values, and is mainly used in spreadsheets with a lot of data. VLOOKUP can be compared to a phone book. You start with the information you know to find out what you don’t know.

The Excel Functions Guide is one of Learnesy’s intermediate courses in Excel. In this course, you’ll learn even more so-called reference functions. This course actually includes an entire chapter of such features. The remaining twelve chapters cover many other Excel functions with completely different purposes, such as matrix functions, statistics functions and text functions to name a few. In fact, the course contains about 90 lessons with functions, formulas and other tips and tricks for formula management.

More about the course

The Excel Functions Guide is a continuation course for those who want to expand their competence within the program’s many functions. Prior knowledge of Excel is required. If you’re lacking said knowledge, we can recommend our course Excel Essentials. In addition to the more basic functions, you will also learn dynamic array functions and how to handle error messages. When you handle multiple functions, you can save time in your work because you can often replace multiple elements with a single formula. Last but not least – to become an advanced Excel user, you must be able to master functions.
