Lesson Summary
Here is a summary of points covered in this module:
HLOOKUP is a function that searches for a value in the first row of a table or range of cells and
returns a value in the same column from a specified row.
Goal Seek is a feature in Excel that allows you to set a specific value for a cell by adjusting the
input values.
A Data Table in Excel is a range of cells that shows how changing one or two variables in a
formula can affect the results.
COUNTIF is a function that counts the number of cells in a range that meet a given condition.
The average, also known as the mean, is a measure of central tendency that represents the sum
of a set of values divided by the number of values in that set.
The median is another measure of central tendency that represents the middle value of a set of
numbers when they are arranged in ascending or descending order.
It is important to know what to do after analyzing data and communicating your data analysis
findings.
