Key ideas in Excel for Greenkeeping Purchasing
- XLOOKUP defaults to an exact match mode of 0 without needing a sorted list
- Returning the contracted unit cost next to invoice unit cost reveals price discrepancies directly
- Failing to enforce exact match in legacy tools risked silent incorrect price comparisons
- Excel Tables auto-expand formulas using [@Column] syntax whenever new rows are entered
- Structured references automatically re-evaluate calculations across new entries without manual fills
- Using regular range addresses like A2:B50 requires manual updates whenever rows are appended
- IFNA catches missing items (#N/A) while letting syntax or reference errors remain visible
- Replacing missing lookup returns with 0 allows downstream SUM functions to calculate cleanly
- IFERROR masks typos and broken formula references by converting all failures to the fallback value
- A logical test like [@InvoicePrice] > [@POPrice] returns TRUE only for billed overages
- Conditional formatting can consume logical test formulas to highlight unauthorized variances
- Subtracting rates yields dollar amounts, but logical comparisons provide immediate binary audit flags
- Single-column lookups default to returning the first matched part code regardless of vendor
- Joining cells with an ampersand like Vendor&Part creates a unique composite lookup value
- Concatenating corresponding lookup arrays in XLOOKUP matches on both criteria simultaneously
- A lookup table maps vendor packaging codes directly to their weight in pounds.
