This only makes sense, and should only be used, if mode is 0 or FALSE. If regular expressions are enabled on the Tools - Options - Calc - Calculate dialog, VLOOKUP will find exact matches treating lookupvalue as a regular expression. If there is no exact match, the row above where value would appear in the left column is found the #N/A error results if that row is not in the table. If there is an exact match, that is the row found if there is more than one exact match, the row found is not necessarily nearest the top. VLOOKUP decides where in the left column lookupvalue would appear. If mode is 1 or TRUE, or is omitted, the left column of datatable must be sorted, with numbers in ascending order appearing before text values in alphabetic order. If mode is 0 or FALSE, the left column of datatable may be unordered, and the first exact match is found (searching from the top). When a value is matched in the left column, VLOOKUP returns the corresponding value (in the same row) in the columnindex th column of datatable, where columnindex = 1 is the left column. VLOOKUP(lookupvalue datatable columnindex mode) lookupvalue is a value (number, text or logical value) to look up in the left column of the range/array datatable.

The first column will represent the name of the employee and the second column is how many guests the employee will bring.Returns a value from a table column, in the row found by lookup in the first column.

To make things easy if the person enters "0" that means they are not bringing a guest (the employee, however, IS required to come) and if they enter "1" that means they are which means that employee equals two attendees. We'll do a simple spreadsheet that deals with how many persons each employee will bring to a company picnic. The first example will illustrate a basic IF/ELSE statement that uses only two columns of data. Let's start out with a more simple example and move on to a more complex example. IF entry A is greater than B THEN C is X ELSE C is Y.īut how does one do this? It's actually quite easy. That third columns' entry will depend upon the information in the first two. Let's say you have two columns of numbers and you want to add a third column based on the other two data. For instance, did you know that Calc can do If/Else statements? In this spreadsheet tutorial you will learn how to use IF/ELSE statements in OpenOffice Calc. Openoffice Calc holds a lot more bang for the users' buck than you might think. Most people know the ins and outs of spreadsheets, but many don't realize just how powerful spreadsheets can be. And when I work in spreadsheets I work in OpenOffice.
