Accepted Answer

Vlookup is a function in Excel used to search for a value in the leftmost column of a table and return a corresponding value from another column.

Vlookup stands for vertical lookup.
It is commonly used for data analysis and manipulation in Excel.
The function requires four parameters: lookup value, table array, column index number, and range lookup.
It is useful for finding specific information in large datasets.
Example: =VLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 3, FALSE) will search for the value in cell A2 in the first column of the range B2:D10 and return the corresponding value from the third column.
