DGET(database, field, criteria)
- Where 'database' is the range of cells that makes up the list or database
- 'field' shows which column is used in the function and
- 'criteria' is the range of cells that contains the specified criteria.
DGET() obtains a single value from the database that matches the specified criteria.
Description
DGET(database, field, criteria)
The function obtains a single value from the list or database that matches the specified condition.
- A 'field' argument can be expressed as "Salary" (a column name) or 3(position of the column).
- If no matching records are found, Calci returns an #N/A error message.
- If more than one records are matching with the given criteria, Calci returns an #N/A error message.
- Criteria can be any range on the Calci with minimum of one column and at least one row indicating the condition.
- The Criteria columns should not overlap the list of data.
