VLOOKUP stands for 'Vertical Lookup'. It is a function that makes Excel search for a certain value in a column (the so called 'table array'), in order to return a value from a different column in the same row.

Its is a very important function in Excel for everyone to know especially for those that need to find information in a large spreadsheet, or you are always looking for the same kind of information, use the VLOOKUP function.If you find yourself repeatedly consulting the same table to find data, however, have a gander at VLOOKUP. Short for "vertical lookup," VLOOKUP takes advantage of vertically-aligned tables to quickly locate data associated with a given value.

How to use VLOOKUP in Excel

1. Click the cell where you want the VLOOKUP formula to be calculated.


2. Click[b] Formulas[/b] at the top of the screen.


3. Click Lookup & Reference on the Ribbon.


4. Click VLOOKUP at the bottom of the drop-down menu.


5. Specify the cell in which you will enter the value whose data you're looking for. In this case, our lookup value is H2, since this is where we will input the name of a tournament such as "PGA Championship," so we input "H2" in the lookup_value box of the popup window. Once we've set up VLOOKUP properly, Excel will return the tournament's Total Rating Value in cell H3 when we type the tournament name in cell H2.


6. Specify the data that you want VLOOKUP to use for its search in the table_array box. In this case, we've selected the entire table (excluding the headers).


7. Specify the column number which VLOOKUP will use to find the relevant data in the col_index_num box. Somewhat confusingly, VLOOKUP requires you to use the numerical value of the column rather than its letter value. In this case, we want VLOOKUP to use the Total Rating Value column — column D — so we enter the number 4.


8. Specify whether you need an exact match by entering either FALSE (exact match) or TRUE (approximate match) in the range_lookup box. In this case, we want an exact match so we enter FALSE.


9. Click OK at the bottom of the popup window.


10. Enter the value whose data you're searching for. In our example, we want to find the Total Value Rating of the PGA Championship, so we type "PGA Championship" into cell H2 and VLOOKUP automatically produces the Total Value Rating (in this case, 914) in cell H3.


Using VLOOKUP, you can not only search for individual values, but also combine two worksheets into one. For example, if you have one worksheet with names and phone numbers and another sheet with names and email addresses, you can put the email addresses next to the names and phone numbers by using VLOOKUP.
