V Look Up

Should I put TRUE or FALSE? Whats the difference?

RE: V Look Up

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your question.

For VLOOKUP, the function looks like this:
=VLOOKUP(Search cell, data table range, compare column, match type)

For match type:
TRUE: for near match
FALSE: for exact match

e.g. searching references: names/price, you need exact match, so you'll input FALSE

e.g. searching for a brief estimate, you will put TRUE

Hope this helps. -Katie

Excel tip:

New to Excel 2010 - Sparklines!

Excel 2010 includes a new feature called Sparklines which are tiny charts that fit into a single cell and plot data in cells from the worksheet. There are a host of formatting and styles that can be applied to them and they are really quite interesting.

>insert
>sparklines
>Choose any style you want

You will be asked for the range and it will automatically select the cell your in to insert the sparklines.
