Welcome toVLOOKUP WEEK 2012! What is VLOOKUP WEEK, you ask? VLOOKUP WEEK is an entire week [March 25th, 2012 through March 31st, 2012] dedicated to one of the greatest yet least used Functions of Microsoft Excel: The LOOKUP Function.
Transcript of the video:
Hey, this is Bill Jelen from mrexcel.com.
My favorite functional of Excel is VLOOKUP.
VLOOKUP.
And there are people who love VLOOKUP but there is far more people that say it’s confusing, it’s too hard, or they don’t even know it exist.
So my idea, not Shark Week but we should have VLOOKUP Week.
That’s right, March 25th through the 31st, 2012, vlookupweek.wordpress.com.
Shark Week has been around for 25 years.
VLOOKUP is at least as terrifying to a lot of people.
So, here’s what we’re going to do at mrexcel.com.
Every podcast during the week is going to have a VLOOKUP theme.
There’ll be a free excerpt from one of my e-books every day, talks about VLOOKUP.
There’ll be VLOOKUP Week giveaways and I’m inviting all Excel websites to do a post on their website about VLOOKUP next week.
We’ll link back to all of those posts.
How can we spend a whole week talking about VLOOKUP?
Ahh, it’s actually easy.
Because there’s VLOOKUP, INDEX, MATCH, knowing when to use IF Error, the old Lookup, HLOOKUP, all kinds of topics we can talk about.
So tune in, March 25th through 31st, 2012 across the Excel web for VLOOKUP Week.
We will have links there at vlookupweek.wordpress.com.
