Open the file contained within the folder name shown above.
The existing exact match formulae only use =VLOOKUP:
The current formulae just look up the book details for any given ISBN number using a VLOOKUP function.
In merged cell D21 create a =VLOOKUP formula to lookup a book's status, given its ISBN number. Include a nested MATCH function instead of the column reference number. You may want to create some extra range names to use in your new formula.
Change the Book ISBN code in merged cell B18 to 978-1-40020-96298-02-1 to check that your lookup formula works:
The new lookup formula containing =MATCH is more robust.
