Now I have been an Excel enthisiast and user for around 20 years now, but one of the most talked about features in Excel I have experienced is the VLOOKUP table. I recently changed over offices in my day job, and one of the first things someone said to me when they found out about my Excel exploits was ohhh so you know all about them VLOOKUPS and stuff. ... Love them or hate them they are awesome in their power of analysis from just a few clicks of the mouse! A book/video I have had in my possession for a while is Chandoo's VLOOKUP Book. Well there are actually two versions of this book, there is the actual Ebook and also an Ebook+Video Combo Pack. I have used it a good deal and it is a good Excel book, on a specialised subject, which is sometimes just what you need. Excel books can try to cover too much subject matter, but Chandoo really expores the Pivot Table Function well in his offering. It is really good solid Excel Book and warants a review. So here it is - my review :-) As I said there are two flavours of the Book, the first is the standard Ebook - downloadable as a PDF or for your Kindle. Included in this bundle is the below- The Vlookup eBook (Kindle or PDF version) Example Excel workbook with more than 50 formulas The purpose of the book he states is to give you an understanding of how to answer any data lookup problem using Excel LOOKUP. The book is not overly theoretical but poses problems and walks you through the Excel solutions. He very quickly gets you past the basics of the VLOOKUP, building confidence in understanding the concept from the start. I was impressed with how quick he gets you to thinks about solutions to data lookup situations you may have yourself and moves to expand on the standars VLOOKUP by intoducing the Index Match functions to feel you have even more Data Superpowers!
