Financial Modelling Introduction 3: Logical Statements and Lookups (1hr)

Financial modelling is becoming an increasingly important skill in an economic environment characterised by ever more uncertainty. The ability to use Excel to predict what the financial performance and position of a business or venture might look like in the future, depending on particular assumptions and estimates is a vital skill. 

Effective use of logical statements is an essential skill required to build a dynamic and flexible financial model. The ability to lookup particular data items is also important and this course covers a number of different ways of doing this.

On completion of this course, you will have a greater understanding of:

• The use of logical statements (IF/AND/OR) to model conditions
• The use of lookup functionality (V/H Lookup, Match, Index. Offset) to select particular data
