Explain he difference between the lookup table in cells A3:E4 of the Grades worksheet and the lookup table in cells A5:E7 in the same worksheet.

The lookup table in A3:E4 of the Grades worksheet is sorted in descending order, and the lookup table in cells A:E is sorted in ascending order, which allows you to use the HLOOKUP function with a TRUE lookup type.

Which Excel function should you use when you want to look up a value from a two-dimensional table, where both the columns and rows can be varied?

True

In a VLOOKUP formula with a TRUE lookup type, the first column of the lookup table referenced must be in ascending order to retrieve the correct value. True or False?

True

The formula =INDEX((B2:D7,B12:D17,B22:D17),2,3,1) returns the value in cell D3. True or False?

True

The formula =MATCH(40,{10,20,40,50},0) returns the value 3. True or False?

True

What is the difference between the LOOKUP function and the VLOOKUP or HLOOKUP function?

VLOOKUP searches for a value in the leftmost column of a table, and then returns a value in the same row from a column you specify in the table. HLOOKUP is similar but it searches a horizontal lookup table. LOOKUP function looks for a matching value in a range of cells (vertical or horizontal) that you specify and returns a value. LOOKUP is limited to a single row or column.
