Microsoft Excel: Let’s Look Beyond the Lookup
OVERVIEW
VLOOKUP retrieves one result to a match request, if that match
can be found in the leftmost column of a large dataset. If the data is not laid
out properly, or if the data is held as the wrong type, everything crumbles in
the spreadsheet. Instead, you can expand your horizons with text, logical,
lookup, and math functions – as well as new ways of referencing the data. This
webinar will explore many of the most powerful, dynamic functions available in
Excel.
All too often, we get our data from clients that don’t
understand how to use Excel, or databases that weren’t set up with our goals in
mind. We can spend far too long trying to make the data just right, instead of
pulling out the right tool from the toolbox. Integrating IFERROR, ISERROR, and
IFNA with VLOOKUP immediately makes it more forgiving, and using MATCH with it
makes it more flexible. You can replace VLOOKUP entirely, sometimes with INDEX
and MATCH, and other times with functions you wouldn’t assume, like MAX,
SUMIFS, and LARGE. We’ll discuss a number of real-world scenarios where these
tools shine.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Unlike many webinars, Neil’s sessions are 100% hands-on
real-world examples of the skills he’s presenting. After this session, you’ll
have a screenshot-laden step-by-step guide to performing the techniques we
cover, as well as downloadable code for supplemental User Defined Functions.
You’ll be able to apply these skills directly to your work with almost no
adjustment, and with a very short learning curve.
AREAS COVERED
Making VLOOKUP work well in every scenario, even when it can’t
handle the request:
- VLOOKUP arguments
- ISERROR, IFERROR, and IFNA integrations
- MATCH integration with VLOOKUP
Replacing VLOOKUP with more flexible functions:
- INDEX and MATCH replacement of VLOOKUP
- Multiple-criteria lookup with SUMIFS
- Ranked lookup with LARGE
Supplementing your lookups with alternative tools:
- Wildcard characters for flexible lookups
- CONCAT for multi-variable lookups
- Integrating color into your lookups
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Simple VLOOKUP is a powerful tool, but there are a thousand ways
to tweak it to be more powerful – or to bypass it for more flexible, useful
functions. Supplementing VLOOKUP with functions like IFERROR, MATCH, and
CONCAT, or using tools like SUMIFS, LARGE, INDEX, MATCH, and SEARCH can build a
suite of functionality you can apply to the kind of data you see in the real
world. If you can’t guarantee that your data will be properly structured,
VLOOKUP will give you errors and incorrect answers,more often than not.
