HLOOKUP matches data to a lookup table by row and can be used for:
– matching approximate pre-defined ranges; e.g. match levels of bonuses to sales achieved; or
– exact data matches between data sets; e.g. employee ID to specific salary
The lookup table in a lookup formula can either have absolute cell references or can be a named range.
Highlights
