Three powerful Excel Formulas that lookup values in ranges, i.e. ranges that include lower bound and upper bound values.

Unlock the secrets of advanced Excel lookups with our straightforward guide! This tutorial focuses on performing lookups in Excel that involve ranges with lower and upper boundaries. We break down three effective formula approaches: SUMPRODUCT, SUMIFS, and INDEX.

🔍 Key Points of the Video:
Understanding Range Lookups: Learn how to handle lookups in Excel where scores fall within a range rather than a single value.

Preparing Data for Lookup: Discover techniques for formatting scores into a workable format using text-to-columns and other Excel functions.

Three Powerful Formulas Explored:
▪️ SUMPRODUCT Formula: An excellent tool for dealing with exceptions in lookup scenarios.
▪️ SUMIFS Formula: Ideal for unique category lookups, especially when dealing with numerical data.
▪️ INDEX Function with MATCH: A versatile approach that works well with both text and numbers.

Method 1: First method uses the SUMIFS formula with greater than and smaller than as criteria.
Method 2: SUMPRODUCT formula works great here too as it can work well with exceptions (and condition)
Method 3: The next method uses INDEX and Match function to find the category that coincides with the defined boundary values. Instead of looking for the exact match, we will use the option "less than" in the match type argument.
Method 4: A fourth option that came to my mind when I was creating the thumbnail for the video was the LOOKUP formula:
=LOOKUP(B2,$H$2:$H$7,$G$2:$G$7)
