how to use vlookup

Accepted Answer

VLOOKUP is a function in Excel used 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 data in large datasets or tables.
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 specifies whether you want an exact match or an approximate match.
VLOOKUP returns the value found in the corresponding row and column.
If the lookup value is not found, VLOOKUP can return an error or a specified value.
Example: =VLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 3, FALSE) will search for the value in cell A2 in the range B2:D10 and return the value from the third column.
