Objectifs :

This tutorial aims to teach users how to implement the HLOOKUP function in Excel, highlighting its advantages over the traditional VLOOKUP function. Users will learn to retrieve data based on a common item found in another table, specifically focusing on how to search for quantities using order numbers.

Chapitres :

  1. Introduction to HLOOKUP
    Welcome to this tutorial on the HLOOKUP function in Excel. In this session, we will explore how to effectively implement this function, which has advantageously replaced the historical VLOOKUP. The primary goal of any lookup function is to retrieve necessary data that is not readily available.
  2. Understanding the Lookup Process
    In our example, we will search for the quantity of an item using a common identifier, the order number. This common item is located in the order details, specifically in column E. We aim to transport the quantity data to complete column H.
  3. Differences Between VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP
    Previously, when using VLOOKUP, the common column had to precede the column from which data was being retrieved. For instance, the order number had to be positioned before the quantity column. However, with HLOOKUP, this restriction no longer applies, allowing for greater flexibility in data retrieval.
  4. Implementing the HLOOKUP Function
    To begin using the HLOOKUP function, navigate to the orders table. You can find the HLOOKUP function either through the formula bar or by using the insert function button. It can be located in the 'most recently used' or 'lookup and reference' categories. Once selected, you will need to fill in the various parameters.
  5. Filling in Parameters
    The first parameter is the search value, which in this case is the order number (e.g., 10,954). The lookup array parameter should specify the column containing the order numbers, which is column E in our example. The returned array parameter will indicate the column from which we want to retrieve the quantity data.
  6. Handling Errors and Match Mode
    The fourth parameter, 'if not found', allows you to specify a message that will be displayed in case of a mismatch. For this example, we will personalize it to say 'item not found'. The match mode is crucial and should typically be set to zero, indicating that we are looking for an exact match. Additional options for match mode will be covered in a more advanced tutorial.
  7. Conclusion
    After filling in all the parameters and validating the function, the results will display, including the personalized text for any mismatches. This tutorial has demonstrated how to set up the HLOOKUP function simply and effectively, enhancing your data retrieval capabilities in Excel.

FAQ :

What is the HLOOKUP function in Excel?

The HLOOKUP function is used to search for a value in the first row of a table and return a value from a specified row in the same column. It is particularly useful for horizontal data arrangements.

How does HLOOKUP differ from VLOOKUP?

HLOOKUP searches horizontally across rows, while VLOOKUP searches vertically down columns. HLOOKUP is advantageous when your data is organized in rows rather than columns.

What parameters do I need to fill in for HLOOKUP?

You need to specify the search value, the lookup array (the row to search), the returned array (the row to retrieve data from), and optionally, the 'if not found' message and match mode.

What should I enter for the match mode in HLOOKUP?

In most cases, you should enter '0' for the match mode to indicate that you are looking for an exact match of the search value.

What happens if HLOOKUP cannot find the search value?

If HLOOKUP cannot find the search value, it will return an error message unless you have specified a custom message in the 'if not found' parameter.

Can I use HLOOKUP for any type of data?

HLOOKUP is best used for data organized in rows. It is suitable for retrieving information such as quantities, prices, or other related data based on a common identifier.

Quelques cas d'usages :

Inventory Management

In an inventory management system, HLOOKUP can be used to quickly retrieve the quantity of items based on their order numbers. This allows for efficient tracking of stock levels and order fulfillment.

Sales Reporting

Sales teams can use HLOOKUP to generate reports that summarize sales data by order number. By linking order details with sales figures, teams can analyze performance and make informed decisions.

Order Processing

During order processing, HLOOKUP can help staff quickly find the quantity of items ordered by referencing the order number. This speeds up the fulfillment process and reduces errors.

Data Analysis

Analysts can utilize HLOOKUP to cross-reference data from different tables, such as linking customer orders with product availability. This enhances data analysis and reporting capabilities.

Customer Service

Customer service representatives can use HLOOKUP to retrieve order details based on customer inquiries. This allows them to provide accurate information quickly, improving customer satisfaction.

Glossaire :

HLOOKUP

A function in Excel that searches for a value in the first row of a table and returns a value in the same column from a specified row. It is used for horizontal lookups.

VLOOKUP

A historical Excel function that searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same row from a specified column. HLOOKUP is considered an improvement over VLOOKUP for certain use cases.

Lookup Array

The range of cells that contains the data to be searched. In the context of HLOOKUP, it refers to the row where the function will look for the search value.

Returned Array

The range of cells from which the function retrieves the value to return. In HLOOKUP, this is the row from which the corresponding value is taken based on the search value.

Match Mode

A parameter in the HLOOKUP function that specifies how the function should match the search value. A value of zero indicates that an exact match is required.

Error Message

A notification that appears when a function cannot find the specified value. In HLOOKUP, this can be customized using the 'if not found' parameter.

Order Number

A unique identifier assigned to a specific order, used as a reference in order details and lookup functions.

Quantity

The amount of items associated with a specific order, which can be retrieved using the HLOOKUP function.

Welcome. In this tutorial we will
00:00:05
see together how to implement
00:00:07
the HLOOKUP function.
00:00:09
For your information,
00:00:10
Excel has advantageously replaced the
00:00:13
historical vlookup with this one.
00:00:16
In general terms, the goal of any lookup
00:00:18
function is to retrieve data we need,
00:00:21
but we do not have. In our example,
00:00:24
we will search for the quantity.
00:00:27
Through a common item found in another table.
00:00:31
This will be the order number.
00:00:34
This common item is presented in
00:00:36
the order details, as I said before,
00:00:39
on the column E.
00:00:42
So in these two tables
00:00:46
to be linked here, in column E we want
00:00:49
to transport the quantity so we can
00:00:52
complete column H. How you might ask?
00:00:55
If you have already used the old vlookup,
00:00:59
it was mandatory that in the table where
00:01:02
you want to retrieve the information,
00:01:04
Order details in this case.
00:01:07
The common column had to be placed
00:01:11
before the column to transport.
00:01:13
So that means here. Furthermore,
00:01:17
some time ago in Excel the order number,
00:01:21
had to be positioned before the quantity
00:01:24
column so either column A or B to
00:01:26
be able for the function to work and
00:01:29
transport the data with the Hlookup
00:01:31
this is no longer an issue,
00:01:33
so to go through the Hlookup I
00:01:36
will go to the table, the orders table.
00:01:38
Then I will look for the
00:01:41
Hlookup function.
00:01:42
Using either the formula bar
00:01:45
or the insert function button.
00:01:48
I could find the Hlookup
00:01:51
In the most recently used or in
00:01:55
the lookup and reference category.
00:01:58
As I have used it recently.
00:02:00
I can find it on the most recently used.
00:02:03
I validate it.
00:02:06
And I only have to fill in
00:02:08
the different parameters.
00:02:09
You will notice that the
00:02:11
parameters are quite numerous.
00:02:12
We will focus on the basic features
00:02:14
of the Hlookup in this tutorial.
00:02:17
The first step will be to
00:02:19
specify what would be the element
00:02:21
considered as the search value.
00:02:23
As mentioned before,
00:02:24
it will be the order number
00:02:27
as it is the common element.
00:02:29
I therefore want to recover the quantity
00:02:33
relating to order number 10,954.
00:02:36
The lookup array parameter
00:02:39
is filled by specifying the
00:02:41
column of the table to be linked.
00:02:44
That means the one containing
00:02:47
all order numbers.
00:02:48
So it is column E in our
00:02:52
order details example.
00:02:53
The returned array parameter
00:02:55
will be always the one to tell
00:02:57
me on the table in which I've
00:02:59
retrieved the information,
00:03:00
which is the column to be
00:03:03
transported to the other table.
00:03:05
As we have established
00:03:06
before it will be quantity.
00:03:08
So I go back to my order details
00:03:11
and I click on quantity.
00:03:13
The if not found or 4th parameter
00:03:15
allows you to specify the text or
00:03:18
the piece of information that will
00:03:21
be shown in case of a mismatch.
00:03:23
If you do not feel it,
00:03:24
there will be an error message
00:03:27
and a that we know already.
00:03:30
I will personalize it in this
00:03:33
example by putting item not found.
00:03:37
The match mode is an important
00:03:41
parameter in which you must absolutely
00:03:44
and in most cases fill with a zero
00:03:47
as it says to the function that you
00:03:49
are looking for an exact match.
00:03:52
The other additional options in
00:03:54
the match mode will be explained
00:03:56
in the Advanced Lookup Function
00:03:59
tutorial once I validate it.
00:04:04
Everything will be shown,
00:04:06
including the personalized text.
00:04:10
And that's how you can simply and
00:04:13
effectively set an HLOOKUP function.

Bem-vindo. Neste tutorial vamos
00:00:05
Veja em conjunto como implementar
00:00:07
a função PROCH.
00:00:09
Para sua informação,
00:00:10
O Excel substituiu vantajosamente o
00:00:13
vlookup histórico com este.
00:00:16
Em termos gerais, o objetivo de qualquer pesquisa
00:00:18
função é recuperar os dados de que precisamos,
00:00:21
mas não temos. No nosso exemplo,
00:00:24
Vamos procurar a quantidade.
00:00:27
Através de um item comum encontrado em outra tabela.
00:00:31
Este será o número da ordem.
00:00:34
Este ponto comum é apresentado em
00:00:36
os detalhes da ordem, como eu disse antes,
00:00:39
na coluna E.
00:00:42
Assim, nestas duas tabelas
00:00:46
para ser ligado aqui, na coluna E queremos
00:00:49
para transportar a quantidade para que possamos
00:00:52
coluna completa H. Como você pode perguntar?
00:00:55
Se você já usou o vlookup antigo,
00:00:59
era obrigatório que na tabela onde
00:01:02
você deseja recuperar as informações,
00:01:04
Detalhes da encomenda neste caso.
00:01:07
A coluna comum teve de ser colocada
00:01:11
antes do transporte da coluna.
00:01:13
Então isso significa aqui. Além disso,
00:01:17
algum tempo atrás no Excel o número da ordem,
00:01:21
tinham de ser posicionados antes da quantidade
00:01:24
coluna de modo que a coluna A ou B para
00:01:26
ser capaz de a função funcionar e
00:01:29
transportar os dados com o Hlookup
00:01:31
Isto já não é um problema,
00:01:33
então para passar pelo Hlookup I
00:01:36
vai para a mesa, a tabela de pedidos.
00:01:38
Então vou procurar o
00:01:41
Função de proch.
00:01:42
Usando a barra de fórmulas
00:01:45
ou o botão Inserir função.
00:01:48
Eu poderia encontrar o Hlookup
00:01:51
No período utilizado mais recentemente ou na seringa
00:01:55
a categoria de pesquisa e referência.
00:01:58
Como eu usei recentemente.
00:02:00
Eu posso encontrá-lo no mais recentemente usado.
00:02:03
Eu valido.
00:02:06
E eu só tenho que preencher
00:02:08
os diferentes parâmetros.
00:02:09
Irá notar que a seringa
00:02:11
os parâmetros são bastante numerosos.
00:02:12
Vamos nos concentrar nas características básicas
00:02:14
do PROCH neste tutorial.
00:02:17
O primeiro passo será
00:02:19
especificar qual seria o elemento
00:02:21
considerado como o valor da pesquisa.
00:02:23
Como mencionado anteriormente,
00:02:24
será o número da encomenda
00:02:27
como é o elemento comum.
00:02:29
Por conseguinte, quero recuperar a quantidade
00:02:33
referente ao número de ordem 10.954.
00:02:36
O parâmetro da matriz de pesquisa
00:02:39
é preenchido especificando a seringa
00:02:41
da tabela a ser vinculada.
00:02:44
Ou seja, aquele que contém
00:02:47
todos os números de ordem.
00:02:48
Assim é a coluna E no nosso
00:02:52
exemplo de detalhes da ordem.
00:02:53
O parâmetro de matriz retornado
00:02:55
será sempre o único a contar
00:02:57
eu na mesa em que eu tenho
00:02:59
recuperado a informação,
00:03:00
qual é a coluna a ser
00:03:03
transportado para a outra mesa.
00:03:05
Como estabelecemos
00:03:06
antes será quantidade.
00:03:08
Por isso, volto aos detalhes da minha encomenda
00:03:11
e clico em quantidade.
00:03:13
O parâmetro if not found ou 4th
00:03:15
permite especificar o texto ou
00:03:18
a informação que irá
00:03:21
ser mostrada em caso de incompatibilidade.
00:03:23
Se você não sentir isso,
00:03:24
Haverá uma mensagem de erro
00:03:27
e um que já conhecemos.
00:03:30
Vou personalizá-lo neste
00:03:33
exemplo colocando item não encontrado.
00:03:37
O modo de partida é um elemento importante
00:03:41
parâmetro em que você deve absolutamente
00:03:44
e, na maioria dos casos, preencher com um zero
00:03:47
como diz para a função que você
00:03:49
estão à procura de uma correspondência exata.
00:03:52
As outras opções adicionais em
00:03:54
O modo de jogo será explicado
00:03:56
na função de pesquisa avançada
00:03:59
tutorial uma vez que eu validá-lo.
00:04:04
Tudo será mostrado,
00:04:06
incluindo o texto personalizado.
00:04:10
E é assim que você pode de forma simples e
00:04:13
definir efetivamente uma função PROCH.
