In cell Q3, nest the existing VLOOKUP function in an IFERROR function. If the VLOOKUP function returns an error result, the text “Invalid Staff ID” should be displayed by the formula. (Hint: You can test that this formula is working by changing the value in cell Q2 to 0, but remember to set the value of cell Q2 back to 1036 when the testing is complete.)

Suppose a number, multiple of 10 between 10 and 90, is entered in cell A1. Your task is to set up a lookup table so that cell D1 displays in words the number entered in cell A1. For example, when number 10 is entered in cell A1, D1 displays "Ten" and it displays "Twenty" when 20 is entered in cell A1. Make sure to add data validation for cell A1 to flag invalid entries.

Hi there. I have an Excel task I need to complete. I need to have a Column set up that says either OK in a green cell or Invalid in a red cell.
