Now, let’s learn about Advanced Formulas:

1. VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, INDEX-MATCH: These are advanced lookup and reference functions used to search for a value in a table and return a corresponding value from another column.
– VLOOKUP searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns the value in the same row from a specified column.
– HLOOKUP works similarly to VLOOKUP, but searches for the value in the first row of a table.
– INDEX-MATCH is a powerful combination where INDEX returns the value of a cell in a specific row and column of a table, and MATCH searches for a specified value in a range and returns the relative position of that item.

2. IF Statements for Conditional Logic: IF statements allow you to perform different actions based on a specified condition. They are used to make decisions and perform calculations based on whether a condition is true or false.
– The basic syntax of an IF statement is: =IF(condition, value_if_true, value_if_false).
– Nested IF statements allow for more complex logical tests and multiple outcomes.

For example:
– VLOOKUP: =VLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 3, FALSE) searches for the value in cell A2 within the range B2:D10 and returns the value from the third column of the matching row.
– INDEX-MATCH: =INDEX(B2:B10, MATCH(A2, A2:A10, 0)) searches for the value in cell A2 within the range A2:A10 and returns the corresponding value from column B.
– IF Statement: =IF(A2 > 10, “Above Threshold”, “Below Threshold”) checks if the value in cell A2 is greater than 10. If true, it returns “Above Threshold”; otherwise, it returns “Below Threshold”.

These advanced formulas are essential for performing complex calculations and data manipulations in Excel.

This is one of the most common and important Interview topic for Excel.
