Question

How do i use match and index formula together to find out the
type of the car EV or PHEV?

Answer 1

To find the car type (EV or PHEV) using INDEX and MATCH, you use MATCH to locate the car model's position in one range and INDEX to retrieve the corresponding car type from another range. This combination efficiently looks up data in a table based on some lookup value.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out the type of the car (EV or PHEV) using INDEX and MATCH formulas together in Excel, you would typically have two columns; one with the car model names and another with the corresponding car types. The MATCH function will search for a specific car model name and return its position in the range of car models. Then, the INDEX function will take this position and return the value from the same position in the car type range.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. First, determine the cell range where the car models are listed (e.g., A2:A10).
2. Next, identify the cell range where the car types are listed (e.g., B2:B10).
3. Decide on the car model you want to match (let's say the model is in cell C1).
4. Write the MATCH function to find the row number: =MATCH(C1,A2:A10,0).
5. Use the INDEX function with the MATCH outcome to get the car type: =INDEX(B2:B10,MATCH(C1,A2:A10,0)).

When you enter the above INDEX formula into a cell, it will return the car type for the model specified in cell C1, either EV or PHEV, based on your data setup.
