What does VLOOKUP do?

Sample answer

VLOOKUP searches for a value in the first column of a range and returns a value from another column in the same row. Example: =VLOOKUP(A2, D2:F100, 3, FALSE) finds A2 in column D and returns the matching value from the third column, using an exact match.

2

What is the difference between XLOOKUP and VLOOKUP?

Sample answer

XLOOKUP can look in any direction, uses an exact match by default and can return a custom message when nothing is found. It is available in newer versions of Excel such as Excel 2021 and Microsoft 365.

3

How does SUMIF work?

Sample answer

SUMIF adds up the cells that meet a condition. Example: =SUMIF(A2:A10, "North", B2:B10) totals the values in column B wherever column A says North.
