V look ups

Are v lookups only really used if you are dealing regularly with the same set of data?

RE: V look ups

Hi Tim

Thank you for your question

V Lookups take their data from a lookup table and consequently need always to refer to the specified table.

They are however fairly flexible in that;

1. The data in the table can be altered whenever to reflect ongoing changes
2. Additional columns of data can be added and used in formulas. Thus the table can adapt as required
3. Additional rows can also be added, although the table array argument would have to be updated to reflect this

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Creating custom lists

In Excel if you type in January in a cell, you can then copy this cell to replicate Febraury, MArch, April etc.

This list has come from Tools- options and Custom lists.

Therefore to save time and create your own list you can click on New (in Tools and custom list tab) and type out the lsit that you want copied quickly.

All you have to do is then type in the 1st word and you will be able to copy the rest of the list quickly.
