    Pro tip! In addition to 02:55 - When you have a spreadsheet with a lot of columns, the column with the lookup value does not have to be the first column. Just make sure that the column with the lookup value is left of the column you want to search in. The Vlookup function can only search to the right!

    • @AdhamMGhaly
      @AdhamMGhaly 8 месяцев назад +5

      Thank you.
      I have been confused by that because even official Microsoft Training Materials state that the column MUST be the leftmost one, yet when I tried it out with other columns it worked normally.

      Don’t think you have to sort the search column either.

    Your videos are great. This seems like a natural progression towards either getting user input in Excel for lookups or creating databases with MS Access.
    Edit: I mainly use Pandas but I can now appreciate the benefits of using Excel, especially after your Power BI video.

  • @davidvoekel8026

    I really like the way you clearly and concisely explain everything. I also like the tempo at which you explain how your examples work. Not too fast and not too slow. I just wish your examples were a little more complicated but at the end of the day, it probably doesn’t matter as long as I learn how the function works. Thanks for all the videos! I’ve learned a lot from your channel.

    You’re on a roll! Every time I see your videos I learn lots of interesting ways to do things. In this case I knew about these functions, but never knew the nuances and that clicking fx brings up a nice window to keep you fill out the functions.
