Spreadsheet Advanced Functions Quiz

What is the purpose of the INDEX function in a spreadsheet?

• To change the font style of a cell

• To insert a new row in the spreadsheet

• To calculate the average of a range of cells

• To return the value of a cell at a specified row and column.

How is the MATCH function used in combination with the INDEX function?

• By using the VLOOKUP function instead of the MATCH function

• By entering text directly into the INDEX function

• By providing the row or column number from the MATCH function to the INDEX function

• By using the AVERAGE function with the INDEX function

Explain the syntax of the INDEX function.

• The syntax of the INDEX function is INDEX(array, row_num, [column_num])

• The syntax of the INDEX function is INDEX(range, row_num, [column_num])

• The syntax of the INDEX function is INDEX(data, row_num, [column_num])

• The syntax of the INDEX function is INDEX(table, row_num, [column_num])

What are the different uses of the INDEX function in a spreadsheet?

• Change the font style of a cell

• Add a new row to the spreadsheet

• Calculate the average of a range of cells

• Return the value of a cell at a specified row and column

How does the MATCH function work in a spreadsheet?

• It creates a new sheet in the spreadsheet

• It searches for a specified value in a range and returns the relative position of that item.

• It changes the formatting of a cell based on a condition

• It calculates the sum of a range of cells

What are the criteria for using the INDEX and MATCH functions together?

• Use SUM to calculate the total of a range of cells

• Use VLOOKUP to return the value of a cell in a table based on the column and row number

• Use INDEX to return the value of a cell in a table based on the column and row number, and MATCH to find the position of a value within a range.

• Use HLOOKUP to find the position of a value within a range

Provide an example of using the INDEX and MATCH functions to retrieve data from a spreadsheet.

• Using the SUM function

• Using the VLOOKUP function

• Using the CONCATENATE function

What are the advantages of using the INDEX and MATCH functions over VLOOKUP?

• They are not compatible with most spreadsheet software

• They are more difficult to use than VLOOKUP

• They are slower and less efficient than VLOOKUP

• They offer more flexibility and can handle a wider range of lookup scenarios.

Explain the concept of array formula in the context of the INDEX and MATCH functions.

• An array formula only works with the SUM function

• Array formulas can only be used in Microsoft Excel, not in Google Sheets

• Array formulas can only perform calculations on single cells, not on ranges of cells

• An array formula is a formula that can perform multiple calculations on one or more items in an array.

How can the INDEX and MATCH functions be used to perform a two-way lookup in a spreadsheet?

• By using the INDEX and MATCH functions together to specify the row and column criteria.

• By using the CONCATENATE and TEXT functions

• By using the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions

• By using the SUM and AVERAGE functions
