 EXPLANATION:
=VLOOKUP(H17,$B$14:$E$42,3,FALSE)
H17: This is the lookup value. The formula will search for the value in cell H17 within the first
column (B14:E42) of the specified range.
$B$14:$E$42: This is the table array where the formula searches for the lookup value. The range
includes columns B to E, starting from row 14 to 42.
3: This indicates the column index from which to return the result. Since ,$B$14:$E$42, includes
four columns (B, C, D, E), the number 3 refers to column D.
FALSE: This specifies that the function will look for an exact match.
=OFFSET($B$13,MATCH(H24,$B$14:$B$42,0),MATCH(I$23,$C$13:$E$13,0))
OFFSET(B13,): The OFFSET function returns a cell reference that is a certain number of rows and
columns away from a starting cell—in this case, B13.
MATCH(H24,$B$14:$B$42,0): This finds the row number where the value in H24 appears within the
range ,$B$14:$B$42,0) . The MATCH function returns the relative position of H24 in this range.
The same function has been repeated after including "0" that reflects the exact value.
=IF(COUNTIF($C$14:$C$42,H35),"Yes","No")
COUNTIF($C$14:$C$42,H35): This counts the number of times the value in cell H35 appears in the
range $C$14:$C$42
"Yes", "No": If the count is greater than zero, the formula returns "Yes"; otherwise, it returns "No".

Explanation

For the first column, we use the LEFT() function to extract a portion of the string "Product Key" from the left, specifying the nu
column, we use the LEFT() function in combination with the FIND() function to locate the position of the "-" in the string. Onc
"-" to obtain the full Product ID.

In the third column, we extract the Product Category using the MID() function. This function allows us to cut the string from t
point, which is the position immediately after the first "-". We achieve this by using FIND("-",string) to identify the "-" and the
number of characters to extract (in this case, 2).

For the fourth column, we use a combination of IF(), ISNUMBER(), and FIND() functions, as instructed. The IF() function check
particular string (e.g., "SMALL"). If FIND() returns a number, we input the corresponding Product Size; if not, we proceed to th

An alternative method is to use the RIGHT() function to extract characters from the right side of the string by specifying the n
LEN(string) - FIND("_", string) to obtain the portion of the string after the "_".

For the final part, we first substitute the second "-" in the string with "@" to differentiate between the two "-". Then, we use
required data. Adding 1 to this number moves the cursor forward by one step, allowing us to extract the city name from the s

 INSTRUCTIONS:
Note: Product Key is designed as: Product ID-Product Category-City_Product Size
Using some excel function, populate the Product ID (v1) column, equal to the first six
racters of the Product Key in column A

Turns out that some product IDs may be longer than 6 characters. In column C, update the
duct ID formula for getting ALL characters to the left of the first "-"

Populate the Product Category column in column D, to return the two characters immediately
owing the first "-" in the Product Key
Populate Product Size using IF, ISNUMBER, and Find functions, based on the logic below:

ey includes "SMALL", Size = SMALL

ey includes "MEDIUM", Size = MEDIUM
ey includes "LARGE", Size = LARGE
ey includes "XL", Size = XL
te: ISNUMBER returns TRUE if the value is a number, else it returns FALSE

nstead of using IF, ISNUMBER, and FIND functions, write some other formula in column F to
d the size of the product by pulling all characters from the right of the Product Key following
underscore ("_")

How can we extract the city name ("BOS", "NYC" or "CHI"). You can use an intermediate
umn New Key. Then, write a function in column H to return city name.
