I.

Exact Match LOOKUP Library

1. Open the file Exact Match LOOKUP Library.

We want Excel to search through the book ISBN codes in this sheet:

The whole spreadsheet is the lookup table

When Excel finds the ISBN code in the first column that exactly matches the
ISBN code in the merged cell B18, we want Excel to complete
cells B19:B22 with the correct information for that book:

The ISBN is the code the lookup formula will find an exact match for.

2. First create a range name for all the data in your main spreadsheet table
(A4:G15).
3. Also create a range name for the merged cell B18 where you will keep changing
the book ISBN code.
In merged cell B19 create an exact match lookup formula to return the book status from
column B (the 2nd column in your lookup table).

Remember - exact match lookup formulae have an extra variable:

=VLOOKUP(Cell to lookup, Table range, Column ref, FALSE)

4. Copy the formula down to merged cell B22 and then edit each formula by
changing the column reference to return the correct book data.
5. Change the ISBN code in merged ell B18 to 978-0-662-95055-01-2 to check that
all your formulae work.
6. Use Save As... to save the file in your own new Excel work folder.

II. Exact Match LOOKUP Music Exam

1. Open the file Exact Match LOOKUP Music Exam.
2. We want Excel to search through the pupils in this sheet:

We need to use an =HLOOKUP to complete the exam dates first.

3. Use the horizontal lookup table in cells H4:N5 to find the date for each exam by
first creating a range name for the lookup table:
 Excel will match on the centre name to find each date.

4. Create an =HLOOKUP formula in cells E4:E23 to find the exam date for each

pupil.
5. We then want Excel to find a match for the pupil name in cell B26 and complete
cells B27:B31 with the correct exam details for that pupil:

Excel will find an exact match in column A for the pupil name.

6. First create a range name for all the data in your main spreadsheet table
(A4:F23).
7. Also create a range name for cell B26 where you will keep changing the pupil
name.
8. In cell B27 create an exact match lookup formula to return the instrument name
from column B (the 2nd column in your lookup table).

Remember - exact match lookup formulae have an extra variable:

=VLOOKUP(Cell to lookup, Table range, Column ref, FALSE)

9. Copy the formula down to cells B28:B31 and then edit each formula by changing
the column reference to return the correct pupil exam data.
10. Change the pupil name in cell B26 to Petunia L Fox to check that all your
formulae work.
11. Use Save As... to save the file in your own new Excel work folder.
