This was my first attempt at a VLOOKUP function after watching various videos to understand it, and to be honest this particular exercise was more trial and error if you only half-way understand what to do with the function. The difficulty says "Average" and this is more a heads-up to pay attention to the fact that there are multiple criteria involved. Overall it was pretty challenging but i like i said this exercise was my first time ever working with VLOOKUP after teaching myself.
