Syntax

VLOOKUP (lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])

For Example:

=VLOOOKUP( B5, B8: D25,2,TRUE)

• =VLOOKUP("Mohan",B2:E7,2,FALSE)

• =VLOOKUP(A2,’Student Details’!A: F,3, FALSE)

Argument Detail	Description
lookup_value    (required)	The value you would like to lookup. the worth you would like to lookup must be within the first column of the range of cells, you specify within the table_array argument. For example, if table-array spans cells B2:D7, then your lookup_value must be in column B. Lookup_value are often a value or a reference to a cell.
table_array    (required)	The range of cells within which the VLOOKUP will look for the lookup_value and also the return value. you can use a named range or a table, and you can use names within the argument instead of cell references.  The first column within the cell range must contain the lookup_value. The cell range also must include the return value you wish to search out.
Col_index_num    (required)	The column number (starting with 1 for the left-most column of table_array) contains the return value.
range_lookup   (optional)	A logical value that specifies whether you want VLOOKUP to find an approximate or an exact match: Approximate match - 1/TRUE assumes the first column in the table is sorted either numerically or alphabetically, and will then search for the closest value. This is the default method if you don't specify one. For example, =VLOOKUP(90,A1:B100,2,TRUE). Exact match - 0/FALSE searches for the exact value in the first column. For example, =VLOOKUP("Smith",A1:B100,2,FALSE).
