jaspreet kaur Unit 2 Home Assignment no:7 use of vlookup in excel February 05, 2025 VLOOKUP in Excel is a powerful function that allows you to look up data from a table based on a given value. It searches for a value in the first column of a specified range and returns a value in the same row from a specified column. It’s particularly useful when you need to find related data quickly. Syntax of VLOOKUP: =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]) lookup_value: The value you want to search for. This can be a number, text, or reference to a cell containing the value. table_array: The range of cells that contains the data you want to search through (the first column should include the lookup value). col_index_num: The column number in the table from which to retrieve the value. The first column of your table is 1, the second is 2, and so on. [range_lookup]: Optional. You can specify TRUE (approximate match) or FALSE (exact match). If omitted, the default is TRUE. Example: Let’s say you have a table where A1:A5 contains product IDs and B1:B5 contains product prices. You want to find the price for a specific product ID (let's say in E1). A B Product Price 101 10.99 102 15.49 103 7.99 104 12.89 105 5.79 To find the price of the product ID in cell E1, you would use: =VLOOKUP(E1, A2:B6, 2, FALSE) E1: The product ID you want to look up. A2:B6: The table range. 2: The column from which to return the value (Price is in column 2 of the range). FALSE: To get an exact match (since we want the exact price for a given product). Key Points: Exact Match: Set [range_lookup] to FALSE if you want an exact match. Approximate Match: Set [range_lookup] to TRUE or leave it blank (for an approximate match). Sorted Data: If using approximate match, the first column of the table must be sorted in ascending order.
