Quickest way to create 300+ rows of 'string' + (row #) + 'string' - excel-formula

I'm trying to create an Excel sheet for a test mailing list, so that I end up with 300+ rows of:
test1#test.com
test2#test.com
test3#test.com
...
test300#test.com
How can I quickly generate all of these rows? I don't know Excel that well but I've tried =CONCATENATE('test',A1,'#test.com') thinking that seems right, but that's not a valid formula. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm an idiot. It was pretty simple, but my syntax was a little off. Here's what I ended up with:
=CONCATENATE("test",ROW(),"#test.com")

HLOOKUP alternative without changing table or adding row?

I'm doing some online sheet/excel tutorial and encountered a problem. My hlookup is not working because the lookup value is not in the first row of the table HLOOKUP Error. So I work my way around it by adding a row at the top HLOOKUP Working but this doesnt look professional. Is there an alternative function or way to solve this without changing the table or adding row?
P.S. I know the answer can be seen directly but I'm preparing for a larger dataset.
Good Day,
try this one for the "Lowest Monthly Average":
=INDEX(B1:M1,1,MATCH(B14,B12:M12,0))
and this one for the "Highest Monthly Average":
=INDEX(B1:M1,1,MATCH(B15,B12:M12,0))
Hope it is what you are looking for.
its done like this:
=HLOOKUP(B14; {B12:12; B1:1}; 2; 0)
If you have the latest version of excel, then xlookup() will work.
Not sure that exists in googlesheets.

Is there way to count if one or both columns haven't been filled?

I am hoping to edit my current spreadsheet that is using
="To evaluate: "&IF(COUNTIFS(Worker,"M",Status,"Closed",Date_closed,">=1/9/2020",Outcome,"",Feeling,"")>0,"M: "&COUNTIFS(Worker,"M",Status,"Closed",Date_closed,">=1/9/2020",Outcome,"",Feeling,"")&"; ",""
Currently this is only counting when both sections aren't filled (Outcome/Feeling). I would like it to work so even when one hasn't been filled, it is still adding to the count by 1
Your assistance is so welcome as I am stuck on this issue!
Many Thanks,
Excel Rookie
You can merge your criteria into one: ="To evaluate: "&IF(COUNTIFS(Worker,"M",Status,"Closed",Date_closed,">=1/9/2020",OR(Outcome="",Feeling=""),TRUE)>0,"M: "&COUNTIFS(Worker,"M",Status,"Closed",Date_closed,">=1/9/2020",OR(Outcome="",Feeling=""),TRUE)&"; ",""
You may have to create an additional column, for cleaner understanding or when OR condition gets too complicated

Using VBA to find a hyphen within cells in column A and to replace with " "

I am new to VBA and trying to wrap my head around how I can utilize it to speed up inputting of data. The issue that I have is when collating data from external sales figures, product codes can be written with a hyphen or without (ie. PB-123 or PB 123), making my MATCH, LOOKUPS next to obsolete without manual intervention which is taking too much time.
I was wondering if there is a standard excel forumula that can automatically find and replace this hyphen with a space or if I would need to go down the VBA route?
Thank you
I don't know if there is another Excel-Function helping you better, but the only function I can think of is
=Replace()
Here the link to the MS-Help-Site: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/REPLACE-REPLACEB-functions-8d799074-2425-4a8a-84bc-82472868878a
In addition it is very easy to write in vba.
For i = 1 to x 'x=the last row
replace(cells(i,1),"-"," ")
next i

How can I parse a column by a number of characters?

I want to pull the last two text terms that are found on either side of the last period but I'm not sure how to parse this out of my excel sheet easily. If I can find a formula to find everything Right of the 2nd period from the right that would be great --- But I haven't come across any way to do this yet. If someone with more experience in Excel could help I would greatly appreciate it!
Examples of what I have: (x 20000 records)
104.526.737.me.com
102.sub-62649-42.httm.com
26.4.326.sub-ip-static.something.net
I was to get from that: (for all of the records)
me.com
httm.com
something.net
Thanks!
Based on the answer for How can I perform a reverse string search in Excel without using VBA?, I modified the formula to replace periods instead of spaces, and adding -1 on the second line.
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("|",SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","|",
LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,".","")) - 1)))
Just copy and paste for each row you need.

How to look up something in a lookup table when there are two variables that change

Quick question-
I know this is probably really easy, but my excel skills have gotten a bit rusty. You can see from my picture below what my situation is. I have a table as a reference that shows something's priority based on its importance and how much work it takes. I will have hundreds of things I need to compare to this table. How can I fill out the question marks under the orange priority label quickly and easily? I could do an IF statement, but that would be like 300 lines long. I know a VLOOKUP won't work because there are too many variables.
Any help would be great!
=INDEX($the_data_part_of_the_reference_table,
MATCH(current_importance_value, $importance_column_header_in_the_table, 0),
MATCH(current_AoW_value, $AoW_header_row_in_the_table, 0)
)
CONCAT an identifier in the reference table and use VLOOKUP in the target table - searching for the identifier.
