Data analysis and Vlookup

Let's use data analysis and Vlookup today to solve a real world problem from the sales data of an electronics store. We have here the data of the sales of different products by different sales people. Now we wish to extract information like which sales persons sold how many computers and printers. As you can see we have extracted the information of sales by Wendy and Harry in slightly two different forms using Vlookup. The use of 'FALSE' is based on the fact that the spreadsheet data has not been sorted in ascending order. Also note the interesting use of numbering the columns of the products to make the data easily accessible in the formula.
