Explain VLOOKUP and HOOKUP formulas.

Question

Accepted Answer

VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are Excel functions used to search for a value in a table and return a corresponding value.

VLOOKUP stands for vertical lookup and searches for a value in the first column of a table and returns a value in the same row from a specified column.
HLOOKUP stands for horizontal lookup and searches for a value in the first row of a table and returns a value in the same column from a specified row.
Both functions are commonly used in Excel for data analysis and manipulation.
Example: =VLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 3, FALSE) - This formula searches for the value in cell A2 in the range B2:D10 and returns the value in the 3rd column.
Example: =HLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 2, FALSE) - This formula searches for the value in cell A2 in the range B2:D10 and returns the value in the 2nd row.
