    That's the best one I have came through... and you exactly know what we need. A 'Thanks' would just be a very little expression of my gratefulness.

    As an instructor,showing things that go wrong first gives students a better sense of WHY they need to learn an alternative or learn it the way its supposed to work. Some bad habits get so ingrained that unless theres a reason, they keep doing things the old way. So kudos to you.

    OMG, thank you SO much for this video! Back story: I used INDEX MATCH several years ago at a previous job, many times for a few weeks and then not at all since then. Now at my new job I absolutely _KNEW_ that this was the function I needed and I read several blogs and watched some videos about how to do it, but nothing was working right. This video explained it all so well and 10 minutes after watching it I solved the issue I was having for weeks and you've saved me!!!!! *THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!*

    Was having issues with getting VLookup to work, and this option for Index/Match was perfect! Using it to create a table to calculate price for leather goods--and using a table with leather name & price and putting into a formula to calculate cost for each item configuration (up to 6 pieces and 6 types of leather per an item...).

    Hi Jon, I'm taking an intro to accounting spreadsheets course online, and it has been kicking my butt. We only have one video lecture a week and it is about 20 minutes, and doesn't nearly explain the information like you do. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos for us, it has already taught me a lot and made these nested functions make sense. :)

    I'm taking a refresher course for excel at college. The overpriced online text book and software are garbage. They throw so much unnecessary work at you there's no learning it. This video helped me more than all the hours I've spent working through the terribly done program I paid so much to take. I'll be referencing this channel for the rest of the course.

    This is such a great tutorial on INDEX MATCH. I love that this broke down each function's definition and even put the requirements in layman's term for anyone without coding experience. The snippet about using data validation for pulling up values was brilliant. Definitely is another great idea for my toolbox. Thank you for the awesome, well-articulated video.

    @philipraygibbons5600 2 года назад

    This is amazing. I was trying to use two methods in a worksheet. I had vlookup/data validation to return estimated times on operations in a table that gets rows added. I also had those values with defined names so I could do formulas. The problem was that since I was sorting when adding rows to make sure my vlookup worked, I was messing up my defined names, as they are fixed.
    Super help for me. Now I dont have to sort the table and my defined names should stop getting broken. :D
