How to Use vlookup Function in MS Excel
What is vlookup function?
You can use the VLOOKUP function to search the first column of a range (range: Two or
more cells on a sheet. The cells in a range can be adjacent or nonadjacent.) of cells, and
then return a value from any cell on the same row of the range. For example, suppose
that you have a list of employees contained in the range A2:C10. The employees' ID
numbers are stored in the first column of the range. See example.
If you know the employee's ID number, you can use the VLOOKUP function to return
either the department or the name of that employee. To obtain the name of employee
number 38, you can use the formula =VLOOKUP(38, A2:C10, 3, FALSE). This formula
searches for the value 38 in the first column of the range A2:C10, and then returns the
value that is contained in the third column of the range and on the same row as the
lookup value ("Axel Delgado").
The V in VLOOKUP stands for vertical. Use VLOOKUP instead of HLOOKUP when your
comparison values are located in a column to the left of the data that you want to find.
Following is the syntax of vlookup: VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])
