This is really the best video I've seen on this function, owing to the minimal size of lookup table. What else makes it better is that the demonstration uses a simplified example as opposed to a more complex, specialized 'real life application'
I've been searching high and low for a good video that clearly explains vlookup and this is it. Thank you for the great explanation! I'll gladly recommend this one to other friends
I have been trying to use vlookup for months now... Microsoft should find a way to promote such kind of videos, otherwise it is impossible to solve such functions by reading help etc. Thanks alot, very useful and I started using it right away in 5 mins..
Jalayer, you are a lifesaver! Thanks to your clear explanation and video I was very successful in doing vlookups of massive spreadsheets! I cant thank you enough!
Thank you so much! You explain it nicely. I watched many of the vlookup videos and all of them are hard to understand. I really appreciate your effort by posting videos.
arlene wilson - yes, because he explains it and you have some people getting mad at him for being detail and explaining why, etc. I think is training is great!
Hi buddy thanks a lot mate I have gone through about 5 to 10 videos on RU-vid for the Vlook up but none of them was able to clarify it as much as your video it was amazing now instead of cramming what Vlook up is I was able to understand what is vlook up and what's its use. Thanks again mate
The first half was a little long, but for a novice who wants to know why you are doing what you are doing, I think it helps a lot As for showing how the actual function works, thanks for making this video! You've helped me with a portfolio my university hasn't given clear instructions for nor much help with for people less computer-savvy
Great Video. Exactly what I was looking for. Simple and straight to the point. I got my spreadsheet working like a charm. You saved me a lot of work. Thank You!!!
Thank you very much! The most concise and easy-to-follow video on this function for all of us who rather dread Excel. P.S. I think you are a better Ross-version, your voice doesn't actually want you to fall asleep. :-)It's more upbeat You kinda look like him though! :-)
Great video.. and very well explained. I love the way you teach/train. You are the only one I came across so far that explains it and I understand it now. Thank you!
Simple and coincise, I will hook up to more videos. I will be unfair if I refuse to share, recommend and enjoy it again and again with friends. I am greatful.
Hi rdjalayer ---Thank you very much for your help with VLookup. Great that you are willing to help others. This Vlookup tutorial was very well done, well explained, and very helpful.
The interesting thing is that I've taken entire college courses dedicated to Excel and Office as a whole and none of them explained this topic as quickly and as precisely as you did.
Short, sweet and to the point, very understandable. I've seen a few videos about vlookup, they were also good, but too wordy, too long and I found myself really not understanding after watching it for over 30 minutes.
Hi Jalayer, I have enjoyed watching your clips. You do have a calming voice something that we need when we are getting frustrated with Excel. I was hoping that you might be able to help me set up a school marking sheet. I want to be able to use letters ranging from E- to A+ in columns then in the last column they get an average. This is the short version of the problem if it is something you can help with I can go into more detail. Cheers Rod
When you first click with the mouse to reference a cell you can click the F4 button on your keyboard immediately after to get the $ signs around your reference and hence make your reference absolute.
after you click with the mouse to produce a reference in the formula bar, click "F4", this produces the Absolute "$" around the reference, then keep clicking "F4" to cycle through all the variations
