DSD: VLookup in Excel - workshop
Course Description:

Search specific value in your data to return a value from a corresponding column, optionally specifying exact or approximate match.

The VLookup function in Excel is able to look for a value in a table or range and retrieve some corresponding data. For example, you can use a VLookup formula to look for a particular module code in a table and extract some further information about it, such as how many students are enrolled or the name of the tutor. In this introductory-level session, we will practice several examples of VLookup and take a brief look at HLookup too.

This is a 90-minute workshop delivered remotely.

PREREQUISITES:

Familiarity with the Excel interface is required, e.g. use of menus, copying and pasting in cells, and formatting text.
