This document discusses using Vlookup formulas in Excel for inventory management. It explains that Vlookup allows finding errors between sheets, saves time, and provides fast results. Examples are given of using Vlookup to update previous month closing values as current month openings, calculate closing quantities and values with basic formulas, determine weighted averages, and find product costs based on total receipt values and quantities. Step-by-step examples are included of the Vlookup formula and calculations for closing values, weighted averages, and product costs.
