what are lookup functions best used for?
Hi Michael
Thank you for your question.
The lookup functions are used to retrieve data, there are many lookup functions with VLookup (vertical lookup) & HLookup (horizontal lookup) being two of them.
An example of how a lookup function may be used:
On one worksheet you have information of employee names & departments.
On a second worksheet you may have information on the departments including manager names.
Using a lookup function you would be able to retrieve the department manager name and place it in the first worksheet without copying & pasting.
Please see the link below for further information.

Excel tip:Quickly create a list of numbersThe fill handle in Excel has many uses. If a number is typed into a cell and then the fill handle is used, the number will be copied from one cell to the next. |
