V look up

Can a V Look up be excercised from two completely seperate excel worksheets?

RE: v look up

Hi Isabella

Thank you for your question.

You can use the VLOOKUP function to extract data that is stored on one sheet, and have it displayed or be used in a formula on an entirely different/separate sheet.

For example, if you have a table which contains values on one sheet that you want to look up (using VLOOKUP) and multiply the value by a figure on another sheet, you could do this.

I hope this answers your question.
Amanda

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
