Enter the Tutorial Data
When entering the data into an Excel worksheet, there are some general rules to follow:
- Whenever possible, don't leave blank rows or columns when entering your data.
- Leaving blank rows and columns in data tables can make it difficult to use a number of Excel's functions - including HLOOKUP.
- Enter your data in rows.
- When laying out your worksheet, list the names describing the data in the first row of the table and, to the beneath that, the data itself.
- If there is more than one data series, list them one after the other in rows with the title for each data series in the first cell at the left.
