Thank you for your informative videos. I have a particular case in excel in which I couldn’t find any solution to it and I hope you can help me with it. If I have various numbers in column B, and I need these numbers to be (increased/decreased):
• By 0.5 either to make it 20.5 or 19.5
• Or by 1 to make it either 21 or 19
• Or 2 to make it 22 or 18 …etc.
• The change should be based on two conditions, a selected text from a drop-down list in the next cell in column C in addition to a number I type in the cell next to them in column D, for example:
• The first case scenario is: When I type the number 20 in cell B2 and then I choose the text “increase” from a drop-down list in cell C2 and then I type 0.5 in the cell D2, I want this “increase” to be reflected on B2 and make it 20.5
• The second case scenario: When I type the number 15 in cell B3 and then I choose the text “decrease” from a drop-down list in cell C3 and then I type any number like 1, 2 or 3 in the cell D3, I want this “decrease” to be reflected on B3 and make it 14, 13 0r 12
• The third case scenario: When I type number 10 in cell B4 and then I don’t choose any text from a drop-down list in cell C4 and leave it blank with cell D4, I don’t want any change to be reflected on B4 and leave it 10 as it is.
I hope you can find time to answer this very soon. Thanks again.

Hi thanks for the xlookup video. I have a data list of employees and there are some duplicates as someone terms out of division 1 and is rehired into division 2 and I need to add their income while in each division so that I have a full picture of their income items. So its a matter of finding a duplicate person and then adding each column separately so I know what there regular earnings are in total and then what their 401(k) withholding was in total, etc. I was unable to manipulate your sum tab xlookup formula to do the job for me. Thanks! Also how do you do that summary first tab?

Hello dear Mr. Jamie, I have a question... If in the Finds Matching worksheet you put in bigger value as an "Income" than the highest 575000 Dollar for instance Dollar than the tax rate goes to 0%. I don't think that it should be like that. How can you solve this problem? Is there something else that should be done with the formula in that case?

How can I add XLOOKUP function to my excel 2019?

[daboe-xmyr]

I hate to be that guy, but, the profit % at the bottom isn't adding up for me, the numbers look off. What am I doing wrong?

[allsports]

Great video Sir. I wanted to follow along in the workbook but it was locked to read-only :(. Couldnt edit or download.

[anexxx]

My Excel version doesn't seem to have UNIQUE and XLOOKUP formulas. What version are you using sir? 😅

[robertnegron]

Is there an Hlookup tutorial coming soon?

[moesadr]

Thanks for all amazing training videos, short, sweet and right to the point but very through! Would you kindly let me know how I can use XLOOKUP up to search for the number of rows with a field includes certain value for This and/ or Last Week, This and/ or Last Month, This and/ or Last Quarter and This and/ or Last Year? How would the formula could look? Do you know a better solution without NO VBA? Thank you!

[giannipiccirillo]

I didn't understand the exercise of the NEsted Lookup function with $ sign, can you put it in another video and explain it more in detail? It's very useful but my Excel is not working since I checked all the steps of the syntax...but it doesn't work..and I don't get why dragging on the right it should change automatically the Qrt ... My mind just exploded !!!!
