What is VLOOKUP?

 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. This article will teach you how to use the VLOOKUP function.


A VLOOKUP function exists of 4 components:

 1. The value you want to look  up.

 2. The range in which you want to find the value and the return value,

 3. The number of the column within your defined range, that contains the         return value.

 4. 0 or False for an exact match with the value your are looking for; 1 or True an approximate match.
