Vlookup is used when you are using a table and want to go to a certain column in that table, as your data is arranged vertically. Hlookup works on horizontally arranged data when you are looking for something on a certain row.

Vlookup searches through a table that is arranged vertically, so it searches along a column to find a value and then moves to another column to return a value. Hlookup works on a horizontal basis, searching along a row. It is not used as often as a Vlookup would be used because data is more often arranged in columns than in rows.

Data is more commonly arranged in such a way that a VLookup is better able to extract the data. The same kinds of data are generally arranged to be grouped in columns and that is what VLookup is best for searching through. It searches through data vertically, or in other words through columns.

Mainly because of the way data is laid out on a typical spreadsheet. VLOOKUP is a Vertical lookup. For the type of situations that people lookup data, the data is arranged to use it. A HLOOKUP is a Horizontal lookup, but data is not normally laid out that way. Corresponding data is normally in columns, rather than rows. VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP mainly use data in tables, whereas the other Lookup functions deal mainly with single sets of data, which is again less common. So generally VLOOKUP gets most use. It does depend on what you are doing though, so it is possible you could use some of the others more often if you deal with certain types of spreadsheet layouts and requirements more often.

Can you detoxify your hair follicles?

the idea of "detoxifying" anything is some new age garbage, your hair follicles are not toxic, there is no way to detoxify them, and I don't know why you would want or need to even if they were somehow toxic seeing as your hair doesn't have any means to contaminate the rest of your body. Mhm...he's abvoiusly concerned about legal and illegal drugs tha can be revealed in the hair follicles. It's hard time trying to wipe-out your follicles and in many cases I heard, few are success chances. If you just smoke some hash or weed you can try the McCujo method. If u've done other drugs...it's even moere of a chance!

Why did they compete naked in the ancient Olympics?

yes they did compete like that and you know what women were NOT allowed to compete... sorry ladies!!! But yes they definetly did compete naked!! GROSSI am not sure why I think it is because they wanted to prove they were strong and didnt have to wear clothes and AGAIN GROSS!!!*Actually, the men didn't wear clothes because the garments back then were loose-fitting and would possibly get tangled while they were competing. Also, clothes were moere of a status symbol than a necessity. Sorry who ever answered this question first, but i really don't think your opinion is relevant to this question :P*

Does a 1996 Mercury Mystique normally run really hot?

i have a 1998 mystique 2.5. it was over heating and kept getting a little worst each week. then it got to a point where you couldn't drive to the store without it going up to the red mark.it also totally stoped blowing hot air.i took it to the garage and they told me the head gasket was gone. they said best case was 2400 but if the block was cracked the motor was done.i was told it wasent worth fixing.bs i thought ,no heat, no white smoke,and no leaks. i took the water pump off and every blade was gone off the impeller plus it had broke rigth in half.plastic crap.i replaced it and now it never goes above the r in normal even idiling in traffic.i would always check the small things first and don't believe the so called mechenics , half don't know what their talking about.if i let them replace the head gasket then they found it was still overheating and checked the water pump then replaced that would they have still charged me for unnessasary work?what do you think? Robert. I do own a 1995 2.0 litre mystique it's got the same enging as 1996 mystique and it also runned hotter than is suppose to run and everybody was telling me that those mystiques were made to run hotter that other cars. I also couldn't get use to that high temperature, but after a wile I did got use to it and drove that car for about two years until I noticed a little bid of cooling fluid leaking out somewhere between the head and thermostat housing. Well I was told by some mechanic that it is typical for those cars because the head is aluminum and the housing is plastic and after so many years specially in the winter time metal and plastic expand and that's why you get a leak, and of course I belived in that because it did leaked more in the winter than the summer. Than I noticed it was leaking more and moere so I decided to change the thermostat housing put the new one. I went to my trusted mechanic and than it suppose to be just a housing. I just couldn't belive what I was driving for two years, I was driving with blown head gasket and they way I was explained by the mechanic when the head gasket goes the first sign is your temperature would go higher then normal and than usually it blows totally or sometimes like in my situation when the gasket goes slowly it creates high pressure in the cooling system it can like again in my situation blow your thermostat housing or anyting that is related to cooling system. And now when my head gasket is replaced I get the temperature about half and below no more than that. My suggestion is to check with your mechanic for the head gasket. The sooner the better, the sooner you go the sooner you find out what it is and you can propobly save yourself money for the other parts that can brake because of that. My 98 Mystique also runs really hot and the heat gauge doesn't work so I'm completely left to guess at the engine. There is the possibility of a faulty sensor or indicator, but some do run a little hot. I solved my problem with fresh coolant, some Water-Wetter, and a 160 degree thermostat for a '96 Mustang. Stant 13396. The temp stays at about the 'O' in normal. Only rarely in stop & go traffic during summer does the temp climb above 1/2 way, then the fans kick in anyway so no problem with overheating - ever. ANSWER NO Car is supposed to run hot! if your mystique runs hot all the time, change your thermostat. if your gauge doesn't work, change your heater-temp sensor. if your engine is cold and you start your car and pressure builds up in the radiator reservoir, has oil in the coolant, oil residue all over your engine and white smoke, you are in more likely to have your head gaskets blown. if these symptoms show up, you need to make replacements. dont go to a mechanic to get the work done. do it yourself! if you want the car to run good, do it yourself. I have had the opportunity to restore my head gaskets on my 1996 mystique, but my engine was a 2.5L Dual Overhead Cam. A much bigger engine than the 4-cylinder. i got to learn a lot about cars. look in the internet to do it. a mystique was my first car, now its my brother's and has been running for 4 years without any repair needed. If you think you need help, call a friend who has more affiliation with a car's engine and work on it together instead of spending up to 4k in cheap repairs.
