Overview of the webinar
If you're not using look-up functions such as VLOOKUP in Microsoft Excel then you're likely working far too hard. Such formulas allow you to instruct Excel to locate and return the data you need, instead of you manually crafting formulas that point to the relevant cell. VLOOKUP is easy to implement, but users often struggle with its nuances. In this session Excel expert David Ringstrom, CPA helps you ensure that you're never caught unaware when using look-up formulas. He'll show how to manage the pesky #N/A error that often arises, as well as how to head off potential data integrity issues. He'll also expand your toolbox by sharing some alternatives to VLOOKUP.
