VLOOKUP
The function is used to look up for a piece of information in a large segment of data and pull that data to your newly formed table. You have to visit the function option. The insert function tab will let you enter ‘VLOOKUP’ or you can find it in the list. Once it is selected a wizard box will open with different set of box options.
You can enter your variables into:
- Lookup_value
This is the option where your typed variables will go to look for the values in the cells of the larger table for information.
- Table Array
It sets the range of the large table from where the information will be drawn. It sets the extent of the data you want to pick.
- Col_index_num
This command box specifies the column from where data has to be pulled.
- Range_lookup
Here you enter either true or false. The true option will give the set of information which is the closest to what you want to find, when anything does not match with the variables. When you enter false it will give you the exact value you are looking for or will show #N/A when the data is not found.
