Excel’s DGET function is used to locate specific information in a table or database. It is an abbreviation for “Database Get.” This function is very helpful, when you have a large list of data and want to retrieve a specific piece of information from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is how it works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Create a Table: <\/strong>First, you must create a data table in your Excel worksheet. This table should include column headings (such as “Name,” “Age,” “Salary,” and so on) as well as rows containing the actual data. Consider it a mini-database.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Setup Criteria<\/strong>: After that, you specify your criteria. This means you tell Excel what you want to find. If you have a table of employees, for example, you might want to find the salary of a specific employee whose name you know.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Use the DGET Function:<\/strong> You can now use the DGET function to find the information you’re looking for. You give the DGET function three things:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The table or database in which your data is stored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The field (column) where you want to find the information (for example, “Salary”).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Your criteria (for example, the employee’s name).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
4. Result:<\/strong> Excel then searches the table for matching information based on your criteria and displays the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s an illustration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Assume you have a table with employee information that looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Above Figure has a table in which we can apply DGET Formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Here we have Three Option for DGET formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Database:<\/strong> Database is your full table but there should be heading in table\/data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Field:<\/strong> Field means that from which column to extract the value?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Criteria:<\/strong> It means Which data value to search. But the heading also has to be given along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Here If you change EmpID then change Salary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Remember:<\/strong> There should be a unique value in the field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
