From ‘The Data Specialist‘ on WordPress comes an Introduction to VLOOKUP with a comparison to INDEX/MATCH:
“Since Bill Jelen (MrExcel) launched a VLOOKUP week, I figured it was a good occasion to take a look at this function and also compare it with the INDEX/MATCH alternative.

From XL-Dennis we have an entry that uses a VLOOKUP in Visual Basic [VB]!

“Sommerzeit ist Reisezeit! Die Koffer sind schon gepackt. Da die Fahrt auch in Länder führt, die nicht zur Euro-Zone gehören, lege ich mir in Excel eine Umrechnungstabelle an, die nach Eingabe eines Eurobetrags sofort in jede Nicht-Euro-Währung umrechnet. Damit auch das richtige Währungskürzel zum ausgesuchten Land angezeigt wird, bemühe ich zusätzlich noch die Bedingte Formatierung.” …To Read More Click Here to go to Frank Arend-Theilen’s Lesson.
