Syntax:
=FIND(find_text,within_text,[start_num])
Arguments:
•find_text Required
The text you want to find.
•within_text Required
The text string containing the text you want to find.
•start_num Optional
Specifies the character at which to start the search.
Microsoft® Excel® Text Functions
Description:
• Locates one text string within a second text string, and returns the
number of the starting position of the first text string from the
first character of the second text string
Remarks:
• FIND always counts each character.
• The first character in within_text is character number 1.
• If you omit start_num, it is assumed to be 1.
• FIND is case sensitive.
• If find_text is "" (empty text), FIND matches the first character in
the search string (that is, the character numbered start_num or 1).
Microsoft® Excel® Text Functions
Errors:
#VALUE! – If find_text does not appear in within_text
#VALUE! – If start_num is not greater than zero
#VALUE! – If start_num is greater than the length of within_text

Microsoft® Excel® Lookup Functions
Description:
• Searches for a value in the top row of a table or an array of values,
and then returns a value in the same column from a row you specify
in the table or array.
Remarks:
• If HLOOKUP can't find lookup_value, and range_lookup is TRUE, it uses
the largest value that is less than lookup_value.
• If lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the first row of
table_array, HLOOKUP returns the #N/A error value.
Microsoft® Excel® Lookup Functions
Errors:
#VALUE! – If row_index_num is less than 1
#REF! – If row_index_num is greater than the number of rows in the
table_array
#N/A – If range_lookup is FALSE and an exact match cannot be found
#N/A – If lookup_value is less than the smallest value in the first row of
table_array

_______ are the most important
parts of a database.
______ store your data in rows
and columns. All databases
contain one or more of these.
_______ retrieve and process
your data. They can combine
data from different tables,
update your data, and perform
calculations on your data.
_____ control data entry and
data views. They provide visual
cues that make data easier to
work with.
_______ summarize and print
your data. They turn the data

To distinguish one record from
another, tables can contain a
primary key field.
◦ The primary key is an
identifier—such as a part
number, a product code, or
an employee ID—that's
unique to each record.
◦ The primary key should be a
piece of information that
won't change frequently.
◦ When tables relate, the
primary key of one table
becomes a foreign key of the
other table.
