Emil

Course creator, Learnesy

Hello! My name is Emil, and I have had the pleasure of being an Excel instructor at Learnesy for many years. In this course, we focus on the most useful functions in Excel, with the goal that you not only learn to handle these tools but also can apply them independently in your daily work.

My aim is to provide you with the tools to transform numbers into insights, and I am enthusiastic about supporting you on your journey to becoming an Excel master.

For more information or questions, contact me via email:

Some of the things you will learn in this course:

A library of 100+ functions

After completing the entire course, it can be used as a library of functions. Save your favorite functions and return to them for a refresh whenever you need it.

The most useful functions

Functions that show you how to summarize, count, how to manage absolute and relative references, financial functions, statistical functions, and more.

VLOOKUP and reference functions

VLOOKUP, perhaps Excel’s most famous function, is not always easily understood. Learn this useful function along with 10 other practical functions used to search for and collect values.

Handle dates and text

Something that even experienced Excel users know is complicated are dates and texts in tables or databases. Use functions such as WEEKDAY, WORKINGDAYS, MID, and many other smart tips and tricks to get your data in order and manage it correctly.

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.
