How do I use VLOOKUP in Excel?
VLOOKUP is a function that searches for a value in the first column of a range and returns a value in the same row from a specified column.
Can you give me an example of how to write the formula?
Sure! The formula looks like this: =VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]). For example, =VLOOKUP(A2, B2:D10, 3, FALSE) will look for the value in A2 within the range B2:D10 and return the corresponding value from the third column.
What does the 'FALSE' mean in the formula?
The 'FALSE' argument specifies that you want an exact match for the lookup value. If you use 'TRUE' or omit it, Excel will look for an approximate match.
Can VLOOKUP work with multiple criteria?
VLOOKUP itself cannot handle multiple criteria directly, but you can combine it with other functions like CONCATENATE or use INDEX and MATCH for more complex lookups.
