Vlookup formula is defeating me .I'm trying to apply it to 2 seperate documents but keep getting NA or value# given back to me me.Can anyone explain in simple steps how to write it?

RE: excel

Hello Marjorie,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Excel Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding how a VLOOKUP function is used in a formula.

The main reason you are getting errors when using a VLOOKUP formula is usually because your data has errors in it or the lookup value cannot be found in the lookup table.

Why don't you send me a copy of your spreadsheet with some of your data containing the errors and I will find the problem, fix it for you, and explain exactly why it went wrong.

You can send it to: - rl@stl-training.co.uk

I have attached an Excel file with information on VLOOKUPs which you may find useful.


I await your reply,


Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Excel tip:

Freeze Rows and Columns to keep lables displayed

You can freeze rows and columns in your worksheet so they don't move.

This allows you to keep row and column labels displayed on your screen as you move through a large worksheet.

Click below and/or to the right of the cell(s) you want to freeze. (NB. Excel freezes ALL the rows above and ALL the columns to left of the selected cell)

Click on the 'Windows' menu and selct 'Freeze Panes'.

Lines appear in your worksheet. The required rows and columns are frozen and remain on your screen as you move through your worksheet.

To unfreeze rows and columns, click on 'Window' menu and select 'Unfreeze Panes'.
