How to Use VLOOKUP

Without a question, Microsoft Excel is one of the most widely used applications on the globe. And it’s not without cause. Excel is so versatile that it can be used in nearly any case. There’s a lot that goes into it, from counting statistics to calculating astronomical data to sending satellites into orbit. Project managers, too, use Microsoft Excel for a number of calculations, including framed structure analysis. The Vlookup function is used to fetch a value from a lookup table list by looking up a value with a reference cell. It’s a very useful and well-known Excel function. We may use a table or a single column to find the value. The whole lookup can be done in a vertical area or with only columns. VLOOKUP is a one-of-a-kind search engine.
