Frequently Asked Questions About Excel Formulas
What are the most commonly used Excel formulas?▼
The most essential Excel formulas include:
- SUM - Adds numbers together
- AVERAGE - Calculates the mean of values
- IF - Creates conditional logic
- VLOOKUP - Searches for values in tables
- INDEX MATCH - Advanced lookup combination
- FILTER - Returns filtered array of data
How do I use VLOOKUP in Excel?▼
VLOOKUP searches for a value in the first column of a range and returns a value from another column. Syntax:
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])Example: =VLOOKUP("Apple", A1:B10, 2, FALSE) finds "Apple" in column A and returns the value from column B.
What is the difference between INDEX and MATCH formulas?▼
MATCH finds the position of a value in a range, while INDEX returns the value at a specific position. Together, INDEX MATCH works like VLOOKUP but is more flexible:
- Can look left or right (VLOOKUP only looks right)
- Returns position number before retrieving value
- More powerful for complex lookups
How do I use IF formula with multiple conditions?▼
Use nested IF statements or combine with AND/OR functions:
=IF(AND(A1>10, B1<50), "Yes", "No")This checks if A1 is greater than 10 AND B1 is less than 50. You can also use OR for either condition being true.
