I want to use excel v-lookup formula but don’t know how to use it. Anyone please guide me.
Understanding the VLOOKUP Formula in Excel
The VLOOKUP (Vertical Lookup) function in Excel is a powerful tool used to search for a value in the first column of a table and return a value in the same row from a specified column. Below is a guide on how to use this function effectively.
What is VLOOKUP?
VLOOKUP stands for “Vertical Lookup”. Itβs used to find things in a table or a range by looking for a value in the first column and returning a value in the same row from a specified column.
The Syntax of VLOOKUP
The VLOOKUP function has four parameters:
1. lookup_value: The value that you want to search for in the first column of the table.
2. table_array: The range of cells that contains the data (the table).
3. col_index_num: The column number in the table from which to retrieve the value (starting from 1 for the first column).
4. range_lookup: A logical value (TRUE or FALSE) which specifies whether to find an exact match (FALSE) or an approximate match (TRUE).
The formula looks like this:
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, range_lookup)
Example of Using VLOOKUP
Letβs consider a practical example to demonstrate how to use VLOOKUP.
Suppose you have the following data in an Excel worksheet:
| A | B | C |
