  6. 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).
  7. Edit the formula in cell E3 to multiply the results by the number of minutes in cell D3.
  8. Copy the formula in cell E3 to cells E4:E33. The #N/A error message displays in rows where no data displays.
