    I'm a 58 years old woman, learning Excel to apply in my future business. I have to say this is incredible way to learn, very well explain, illustration are easy to follow, and the voice of Jimmy is clear to understand every single word, I hardly recommended to anyone no matter your age. Thanks you so much and keep the good work.

      What? A 58 yr old person can't have a future? Are you suggesting any one older than 50 should just sit home and wait to die?
      This woman had the mental and physical strength to be learning a new skill with a great attitude....saying what you said just showed how shallow and lazy you are...

    This is fantastic. I am self taught with most things in excel and this was always a somewhat intimidating function. After watching this video, I feel like it is child’s play! I would like to see more with the approximate values on the last part of the formula vs exact. How can this be used and how does it determine what values to look for? Thanks!

This VLookup quickie video was informative on the spacing aspect when the final formula is set to false and it comes up an error message. I played around with it to see it with the message set to true and what comes up as well. Glad for that last jeweled nugget of wisdom indeed.
