RE: creating my own formular on the menu bar

Hi Louise

Thank you for your question.


The VLookup function is part of a group of functions that can return values by looking them up in data tables.

For example:
Worksheet 1 - Employee Name
Worksheet 2 - Employee Address
You wish to retrieve the address information returning the values to the worksheet with the employee names (without copy - paste)

The VLookup searches vertically in the first column of a table until it locates a value that matches or exceeds the one that you're looking up, returning a value from the column you speicify.

Please see below, a video link that further explains the VLookup function with example.

Excel tip:

Switching Between Spreadsheets

As the Alt+Tab key switches between loaded applications or files, Ctrl+Tab switches between loaded or open Excel files. Hold down the Ctrl key until you have tabbed to the correct spreadsheet.
