    Im surprised you are not getting more than100k likes for this great tutorial. You explain it well and to the point. Keep to this style.. Another possitive feedback is you zoom it enough to be readable unlike some others. I dont why why anyone would thumbs down on this

    Thank you so much, I was using "4" instead of 4, etc. and had no idea that impacted vlookup (and hlookup, which I was using at the time, but vlookup is more popular)

    To those who are still getting an Error message: VLOOKUP does not work between different types of data (extract a fiscal period if you look up its reference date). The DGET function helped me in this case. Look up DGET tutorial videos, and you can add 'sheet name' (and hide the tab if you wish).

    Hi Caripros, I've been struggling with Vlookup not working for a large file, and recreated one smaller with fewer columns. I've followed your recommendations and ensured that all the data is the same format, but still no luck. Please help. I can send you file I created if you'd like to take a look and see what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi, thank you so much for this video very helpful. Is there any other reason one might still be getting #N/A in exact match VLOOKUP, I tried all the options you provided but I am still having trouble getting the exact match to work while leaving that cell empty always returns a value but I need to be sure which is why I am hung up on the exact match error.

    • @CariprosHRAnalytics
      @CariprosHRAnalytics  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Joyce - Have you checked my other video that discusses more vlookup errors? it's th-cam.com/video/pIbaHjyGt1g/w-d-xo.html&list=PLLBzkESv1Bg4oKfbybcMIi4PeV00CYcJR&index=7

      I have a question😊
      How can we put parentheses around one number in cell ( only one cell)using a one keyboard shortcut?
      Instead of using shift key + “(“ to open the parentheses and shift key + “)” to close the parentheses.
      Thank you:)

    • @CariprosHRAnalytics
      @CariprosHRAnalytics  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Anaruz, you raised a very good question. It never occurred to me as I have always been using this typical method, but I do know that for some programming language, you are able to input "(" and "()" will auto-populate and it is better than the manual input to prevent formula error. So I then searched online and multiple sources confirmed that no, Excel does not have such function or shortcut. (answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/excel-shortcut-for-brackets-in-a-formula/bf59b8e6-7622-4f40-b7b0-13bf5c69827c?auth=1) ...Although you may use custom keystroke or auto-correction to make "()" appear in an Excel cell, but it is really not more productive in any way as I tested. This is all that I know now. If you find some more creative solution please let me know! =P
