    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 Год назад +6

      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.

    @garykolegraff7088 Год назад +1

    I can't Thank you enough for this video. In my last job (that I didn't get) they asked if I knew what a VLookup was and the last time I did this was in 2008. Fast-forward through COVID. Since then I bought a Google Chromebook and have forgotten how to do this. Kevin, Thanks again for this video. It will aid me in my current job search.😀

    Hi Kevin, Your tutorial is the easiest to understand! So thankful for all the time and effort you put in making this video. I was going through the VLOOKUP, and executed with your dataset, after using function, I got last two value "N/A". I did exact way that you are doing it and tried multiple times. May I know, where did i go wrong? Thank you!

    So just this week, I was trying to do something in Excel where a field would be populated based on the value of another field. I couldn't figure out how to make it work and set it aside to work on later. THAT SAME EVENING, this video popped up in my recommended list and gave me the answer I needed. I actually paused the video, opened up the Excel file I was working on and used VLOOKUP and it worked perfectly. I know you don't control the algorithm for RUclips video recommendations, but this video couldn't have come at a more opportune time. Thank you!

    My Sister in laws invoicing was mental. Too many customers and no quick way to display name,address,state,postcode email. She was actually scrolling through old invoices copying say 2019 invoice then creating 2024 invoice
    Made her a customer table and did vlookup to appear on invoice as
    Name
    Address
    State
    Postcode
    Email
    I made it on my 2021 excel using xlookup but her laptop is 2019 excel So had to use vlookup
    Thankz. You’re a good teacher

  • @alciderichards3622

    Excellent video. The best I have seen. I have been using vlookup but sometimes it is a struggle when things get a bit complex. I never thought about xlookup until your video. Now I am using it all the time. I am even going back to some excel sheets that I made with vlookup and changing them to xlookup.

    11:12 I think it makes more sense to call it "Range Match" than "Closest match" for the beginners. As it returns the value that falls in a range rather than being the closest one (even Excel labels the parameter name as "range_lookup")

    I liked your video and was able to follow. I would recommend slowing down your talking speed though. I watched another xlookup that went through explaining each of the items in xlookup we inputted in and I appreciated that. I enjoyed your video utilizing the function option where a previous video I hadn't seen that much. I find xlookup much easier to use and understand than vlookup.

    just found your video and it explains vlookup and hlookup really simply. Great having the template to practice along with you as well. I think xlookup would be really useful but it doesn't seem to be an option on the version on excel i'm using at home or at work so will try to find out more about that.

    • @mykehaha8207
      @mykehaha8207 Год назад

      I had the same issue. The XLookup came back with the first 2 lines filled out, then everthing else said, "N/A." Probably the version I'm using at home.
