VLOOKUP to find Value (Formula)

Using a Vlookup Formula we can use a cell to search for a value in a table
In the example below we use the search value in: B8 and the table range (A1:C6)
And display the information in the 2nd column in cell B9
=VLOOKUP(B8,A1:C6,2,FALSE)
Explained:
=VLOOKUP(B8,A1:C6,2,FALSE)
This is the Function we are calling to use.
This is the cell which hold the value we want to search for
This is the range of the table we want to search in
This is the column number of the range the result is stored in

This is set to false which means “Exact Match”

Using the SUMIF Formula we can add up all the results in a range when another range matches the a set criteria In the example below we find any cell which = “Yes” in the range D2:D6 then add the results from B2:B6 =SUMIF(D2:D6,"Yes",B2:B6) Explained =SUMIF( D2:D6 ,"Yes", B2:B6 ) This is the function we are calling to use This is the range we want to match our criteria too This is the criteria we want to match This is the range we want to add together if the above matches Also please see my instruction video for a more detailed step by step guide:
