Select cell D2 on the Data sheet and review the formula. The formula divides calories by time and rounds the results to
three decimal places.
Select cells D2:D10 and open the Format Cells dialog box.
Select the Custom category on the Number tab and build a format to display three decimal places (Figure 7-69).
Select cell D2 and click the Format Painter button
[Home tab, Clipboard group]. Click the Calorie Tracking
tab and paint the format to cells E3:E33.
Select cell E3 on the Calorie Tracking sheet. Start a
VLOOKUP function to lookup the label in cell C3. For the
array, use an absolute reference to cells A2:D10 on the
Data sheet. The Col_index_num is 4 for the calories per
minute column. Leave the Range_lookup argument empty;
the array (A2:D10) is sorted in ascending order. The result
of the VLOOKUP formula is calories per minute for the
exercise (Figure 7-70).
Edit the formula in cell E3 to multiply the results by the
number of minutes in cell D3.
Copy the formula in cell E3 to cells E4:E33. The #N/A
error message displays in rows where no data displays.
