Class Recording:This Class as a Panopto Recording*
*In Spring 2022, when this recording was made, we missed the next session, Relational Databases (VLOOKUP and SQL), due to an official UNC holiday. Therefore, I started the recorded session with the VLOOKUP demonstration, but I had not made slides yet, so the VLOOKUP slides are near the end of the slides right before the page setup slides. The order of how you complete each worksheet does not matter, but do wait and do the page setup last.

VLOOKUP

The instructions in the grade sheet are a bit cryptic... Glance over them, then just do the project by looking at the slides and/or following the video. Then read the instructions again. Then it will make more sense. We will go over this in more depth tomorrow in the Database/SQL Session.
