INDEX Function

The document provides an overview of several Excel functions including INDEX, MATCH, HLOOKUP, AND, OR, and IF functions, explaining their purposes and syntax. INDEX helps find values in a data set by row and column, while MATCH locates a value's position. Additionally, logical functions like AND and OR evaluate multiple conditions, and the IF function performs logical comparisons to return values based on specified conditions.

INDEX Function

INDEX Function in Excel is a pre-built integrated function that is categorized under Lookup
& Reference Function.

 INDEX function in Excel helps you out to find out the value within a data set range,
where it can look up values by both column & row.
 To look up a value of cell where an intersection of the row and column happens.
 It is commonly used along with the MATCH function, Where the combination of
INDEX & MATCH function is an alternate option for the VLOOKUP function,
which is more powerful & flexible.
 INDEX formula or function returns a value from a tabular range or array based on the
specified row and column number you specify.

The Formula or Syntax for INDEX function in Excel is:

MATCH Formula in Excel


The MATCH Function checks for a particular value in a range of cells and returns the
respective location of that value.

The Formula for the MATCH function is as follows:

 Lookup_value (required) – the value you are searching for. It can be either numeric,
text or logical value as well as a cell reference.
 Lookup_array (required) – search from the range of cells.
 Match_type (optional) – explains the match type. It can be any one of these values: 1,
0, -1. The match_type argument, when setting to 0, returns the exact match, while the
other two types of values allow for an approximate match.

HLOOKUP

HLOOKUP is used to look through the data horizontally and get the desired result
based on the rows to number, i.e. ROW-INDEX number. As the name itself suggests,
it will search the data horizontally, whereas VLOOKUP searches the data vertically.

What are Excel macros?

A macro is a small program or set of actions that you can run repeatedly. Excel macros are
used to automate repetitive tasks to save a lot of time and hassle.
Logical Functions in Excel

"Logical functions are used to compare more than one condition or multiple conditions. It
returns the result as TRUE or FALSE by evaluating the arguments."

These functions are used for calculating the result and help to elect any one of the given data.
Based on the requirement, the contents in the cell are evaluated using the respective logical
condition.

AND Function

The AND function tests single or multiple conditions. It returns the value true if all the values
evaluate to true and return false if any one of the value evaluates to false. T

Syntax

=AND (logical 1, [logical 2]...)

Arguments

logical 1- The condition or value to be evaluated, which is called the first logical condition

logical 2- The condition or value to be evaluated, which is called the second logical
condition

OR Function

The OR function returns the result as True if any arguments evaluate to true and return False
if all the arguments evaluate to False.

Syntax

=OR (logical 1, [logical 2],...)

Parameters

Logical 1- It represents the first condition to be evaluated

Logical 2- It represents the second condition to be evaluated.

What is the IF Function in Excel?

The Excel IF function performs a logical comparison between two values (or cells containing
values). The function evaluates if the supplied condition satisfies and then returns an output
value depending on whether the result of the condition is TRUE or FALSE. In particular, the
IF function is an inbuilt conditional function that returns a value based on the fulfillment or
non-fulfillment of the supplied condition.

Syntax of IF Function

The syntax of the Excel IF function is defined as below:

1. =IF(logical_test, value_if_true, value_if_false)

Where, the 'logical_test', 'value_if_true', and 'value_if_false' are the three parts or arguments
in the IF function.

Based on the above syntax, the general format of the Excel IF function is defined as below:

=IF(A1>B2, "TRUE", "FALSE")

We separated the different arguments (or parts) in the IF formula by a Comma (,). However,
we can also use the Semicolon (;) based on the language settings of the machine/ device.
