![]() ![]() Lookup_Value: This is the field that has common references or values to another file which has more details The above formula has 4 parts as described in the formula: In simple terms, it does a find action of a value from one sheet or table or file in another sheet or table or file and copies the value corresponding to that value from the column specified in the formulaįormula: =Vlookup(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup) It looks for a particular value in another table or array and returns the value in the same row from a specified column. VLOOKUP Function is the most used function in day to day operations of many businesses. =MID(Text or Cell reference, Start Number, number of characters you want to look for).=LEFT(Text or Cell reference, number of characters you want to look for) and.=RIGHT(Text or Cell reference, number of characters you want to look for). ![]() MID gives you the number of specified characters from the middle of a text string. LEFT gives you the number of specified characters from the left of a text string. RIGHT gives you the number of specified characters from the right of a text string. These RIGHT, LEFT and MID functions return the specified number of characters from a text string. Check out the character count difference with and without the TRIM formula. ![]() The TRIM formula removes that extra space. I added an extra space behind “I Love Excel”. This can create huge discrepancies if you are trying to compare using IF statements or VLOOKUP’s. Often when you pull data from a database you may find some extra spaces are put in behind or in front of legitimate data. This TRIM function is useful for removing extra spaces in a cell whether at the beginning, trailing or anywhere between the words. 24 characters without spaces in between the words, 29 with spaces between the words. Notice the difference in the formula results. The LEN formula counts the number of characters in a cell including spaces. It counts the number of non-empty cells no matter whatever the data type maybe. It will count cells that have numbers and/or any other characters in them. This function counts the number of non-empty cells in a selected range. On the left side, the result of the formula is 10 and on the right side, the same formula shows the result as 9 because on the right side one cell contains the text.įormula: =COUNT(A1: A1O) 3. We can see the difference in the below image. The formula for the count is =COUNT(Cell Start: Cell End). It counts the cells where there are numbers. The count function counts the number of cells containing numbers for a selected range. Press both together and it will automatically add the whole range of cells above the formula. The keyboard shortcut for using SUM function for a range of cells is Alter + Equal (ALT + =). =SUM(B2,B3,B4).Īs I explained above how to use SUM function for two or more numeric values and cells separated by a comma and now let us discuss to use SUM function for a range of cells. Excel will calculate and give us the total.įor using SUM formula for two or more cells separated by a comma instead of putting numeric value us need to put cell. In the Excel sheet put the equal sign and then write SUM and open a bracket and put above three values separated by a comma and then close the bracket and press enter. Adding 2 or more values/cells separated by a comma:įirst, let us understand adding 2 or more numeric values separated by a comma. ![]()
