RE: Searching - VLookup

Dear Stacey

Thank you for attending Excel Advanced course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

I assume you are talking about the Vlookup excercise. I am not 100% sure what your question means but I beleive that you want to know rather than typing the Emp code manuually how can you automatically select the emp code from a list which in turns provides the values on teh other cells wheer the Vlookup has been set.

If the above mentioned is your query then the best thing to do is that click on the cell that will be your Lokokup Value and choose Data > Validation...

Choose the List from the Allow drop down list.

In the source instead of typing the individual emp. codes you will select all the cells that contain the existing emp codes.

Press OK after that.

You will notice that when you click on the cell which is your Lookup Value you can easily choose from the drop down list.

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Creating a range of monthly payments as text

You could use a formula to create a range of payment ie. payment amount for x% to y% rate with fixed terms and principle.

The text that would be "between Xamount and Yamount".

Here is how to do it.

1 Use the PMT function to get your monthly payments figure or whatever frequency of payments that you choose he start range.

See PMT under Excel Help

2. Nest these in the ROUND function to round decimals see ROUND under Excel Help


3. Concatenate this using "&" and concatenate " to " and concatenate "Between ".

4. Concatenate the above to PMT function for the end range

ie.

="Between "&ROUND((PMT1),decimal places)&" and "&ROUND((PMT2),decimal places)
