the h stands for horizontal lookup and the v stands for vertical. assume you have two columns and you want to know if there are any names in them that are the same. You can use v look up to tell you how many repeats there are. You can also do that with rows, but you use h lookup. ALso this function can be used to find a certain aspect about a item iin a table.
HLOOKUP is a Lookup and Reference function, not a logical function. It is used to search through a table that is arranged horizontally. You would search along a row to find a value, and then move to another row to get a value to return. The corresponding function VLOOKUP is used more often because data is more often arranged in columns rather than rows. See the related question below.
You can use HLOOKUP.
The HLOOKUP function searches for value in the top row of table_array and returns the value in the same column based on the index_number. It has nothing to do with multiplying or adding cells, unless you use the results in some kind of calculation. If this does not answer your question, please ask a more specific question. If you want to know about both multiply and add, ask two questions--one for each subject.
Yes. There are 3 main functions for doing lookups. They are LOOKUP, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP. You can also use a combination of the MATCH and INDEX functions to achieve a lookup.
There are a number of functions that could be used to achieve that. They are all categorised as lookup functions. Included in them would be ones like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, LOOKUP, INDEX and MATCH. You could also use the Advanced Filter facility.

Use the Sum function.
you can get help in the Microsoft excel itself by pressing F1 key.
There is no single answer to that. It will depend on the calculation you are trying to do. You could use whatever rate is appropriate. The function can use any rate, so that will be based on the particular situation you are working on and what interest rate is specified.
The PMT function.
