How Vlookup works in excel?

Question

Accepted Answer

VLOOKUP is a function in Excel that allows you to search for a value in a table and return a corresponding value from another column.

VLOOKUP stands for vertical lookup.
It is commonly used to find specific data in large datasets.
The function requires four arguments: lookup value, table array, column index number, and range lookup.
The lookup value is the value you want to search for.
The table array is the range of cells that contains the data.
The column index number is the column from which you want to retrieve the data.
The range lookup is an optional argument that determines whether an exact match or an approximate match is required.
VLOOKUP returns the value from the corresponding row and column intersection.
If an exact match is not found, VLOOKUP can return an approximate match using the range lookup argument.
VLOOKUP is case-insensitive, meaning it does not differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters.
