When you’re searching for items within a table or range by row, use VLOOKUP. For example, you can retrieve the price of a car part by its part number or locate an employee’s name using their ID.
the VLOOKUP function operates like this:
=VLOOKUP(What you’re searching for, Where you’re searching, Column number in the range with the desired value, Specify if it’s an Approximate or Exact match – denoted as 1/TRUE for approximate or 0/FALSE for exact).
1. What are you searching for? Think of it like looking for a specific word in a book.
2. Where are you looking? Imagine you’re searching in a specific chapter of that book.
3. Which part of that chapter has the answer? It’s like figuring out which paragraph or page in that chapter has the information you need.
4. How accurate do you want the answer to be? You decide if you want the exact answer or if it’s okay to be close.
So, VLOOKUP is like saying, “Hey, find this word in that chapter. When you find it, tell me which part of the chapter has the answer, and be pretty close about it.” That’s how VLOOKUP helps find information in Excel!
