HLOOKUP practice

Some price lists put plans across columns. HLOOKUP finds a header and reads the requested row in that same column.

Practise HLOOKUP

What you will practise

The row index counts from the table's top row, including its headers. FALSE requests an exact header match.

HLOOKUP(value, table, row_index, FALSE)

The syntax above is a guide. Read the data and each task to choose the right arguments for your formula.

    Return the annual cost for the plan in A8 by multiplying its monthly price by 12.

Before you check your answer

  • Keep the source data intact. Write your answer in the highlighted result cell. Changing a source value changes the question instead of solving it.
  • Use the requested cells. Check the first and last row of a range and read its column heading. A plausible total can still come from the wrong data.
  • Reference values that can change. A fixed number may match today's sheet. A cell reference keeps the formula connected when the source values change.

How the answer is checked

The workbook evaluates your formula against the requested result. It also checks the skill being practised and tests the formula with changed source data, so a fixed answer that happens to match is not enough.

Use progressive hints when you need help, then try the task again with fresh data. Correctly solving a step opens the next exercise.
