Comments
DGETÂ function returns:
- #NUM error if multiple values match.
- #VALUE error if no values match.
Excel defines a database as a list of related data in which rows of related information are records, and columns of data are fields. The first row of the list contains labels for each column.
Allowed criteria range characters are less than and greater than signs <>, use them to specify a criteria range. Also, asterisks * can be used to match partial strings.
You can place your criteria range wherever you want on your worksheet, however, it is not recommended below the list/database. The function needs a blank row below the list to work properly.
To include the entire list/database enter a blank line below the criteria range column labels.
