Group ages in ranges by using VLOOKUP

To handle this job, you can use the VLOOKUP function in Excel.

Select the cell next to the ages you want to group, and type this formula =VLOOKUP(B2,$E$2:$F$4,2,1), (B2 is the age you use, E2:F4 is the age groups you lookup based on, 2 indicates to return the second column in the lookup range) press Enter key, then drag fill handle down to fill the formulas to cells.
