OVERVIEW

In this course, we will focus on the Logical, Information and Lookup and Reference functions. In the Logical function section, you will learn to perform logical tests using the IF function along with AND, OR and NOT. In the Information function section, you will learn various ERROR checking functions that can be combined with the Logical functions.  In the Lookup and Reference section, you will learn to use the various LOOKUP functions and the INDIRECT function.
