Excel 2016 from Scratch Exercise
Vertical Lookup A
An Excel tutorial by Peter Kalmstrom
In
a recent tutorial in the Excel 2016 from Scratch series,
Peter Kalmstrom has introduced formulas with the vertical
lookup function. Here is an exercise, that you can try yourself
before you look at the solution in the demo.
As an example Peter uses a campaign with discounts depending
on how much you buy. The more you buy for, the bigger percentage
of discount you get. The lookup formula finds to correct
price span for each purchase.
