Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA, introduces you to several lookup functions in this informative webcast. These powerful Excel functions, including VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, MATCH, and CHOOSE, allow you to rapidly develop accurate spreadsheets and look up information, such as pay rates, item prices, and accounting results, versus manually linking to specific cells. David explains the context of when to use lookup functions, demonstrates troubleshooting techniques, and prepares you to deal with subtle issues that can prevent lookup functions from working properly.

Areas Covered in the Session:
  • Simplifying multiple-field look-ups with concatenation (combining fields together into a single cell).
