In the if formula can your answer be an hlookup?
It would be a complex formula, and there are probably better ways of achieving what you would want to do, but it is possible to have a Hlookup as part of an If function.

Horizontal.

You can use HLOOKUP.
What is hlookup in Microsoft Excel?
the h stands for horizontal lookup and the v stands for vertical. assume you have two columns and you want to know if there are any names in them that are the same. You can use v look up to tell you how many repeats there are. You can also do that with rows, but you use h lookup. ALso this function can be used to find a certain aspect about a item iin a table.
What are examples using vlookup and hlookup?
First of all vlookup/hlookup function helps us to connect between data array - we can retrieve data from one array to another when we have on common data (for example ID number) in both arrays. There are many uses for vlookup/hlookup function for example: 1. Calculate salary - in one able you have worker ID and the salary per hour and in the other worker ID and number of hour worked. 2. convert sales in unit to value (one table contains sales in units, the other cost per unit - both have unit reference number)
What is an Excel reference function that looks for a value in the top row of a table or array of values and returns the value in the same column from a row you specify?
hlookup
How do you find the address of the cell that was found using hlookup?
To explain the process. You use the ADDRESS function, and determine a number for the row of the cell and a number for its column. First you have to find the value with the HLOOKUP function Then you have to find where it is in the list, which you can do using the MATCH function. The MATCH function can use the same search value as HLOOKUP did. That will give you a number of the position in the list that HLOOKUP found its search value in. You can use that number to determine the column the value is in. If the list does not start in column 1, which is highly likely, then you will need to add a value to make up for that. You will know what the row of the values is as you will have been using that in the HLOOKUP. Again you may have to make allowances for the position of the whole table on the worksheet. Together you will have the address of the cellSay your full table was in cells F5 to I9 and you wanted a value in the third row of the table as your final value, and you were taking your initial search value from cell D14. You would be searching along row 5 initially and the final cell would be coming from row 7. As the first cell is in column F, which is the 6th column, then you will need to add 5 to the Match value to make up the difference. The Match function also uses D14, to search for in the first row of the table. Your two functions would be as follows=HLOOKUP(D14,F5:I9,3)=ADDRESS(7,MATCH(D14,F5:I5)+5)
The name of the HLOOKUP argument that defines the location where the value to retrieve is located is the?
It is the index number. This will tell you which row to retrieve the value from, having initially found which column the row is in.
What is the formula to multiply and add a cell in Excel using hlookup?
The HLOOKUP function searches for value in the top row of table_array and returns the value in the same column based on the index_number. It has nothing to do with multiplying or adding cells, unless you use the results in some kind of calculation. If this does not answer your question, please ask a more specific question. If you want to know about both multiply and add, ask two questions--one for each subject.
When do you use the Excel logical formula hlookup?
HLOOKUP is a Lookup and Reference function, not a logical function. It is used to search through a table that is arranged horizontally. You would search along a row to find a value, and then move to another row to get a value to return. The corresponding function VLOOKUP is used more often because data is more often arranged in columns rather than rows. See the related question below.
