Overview
In a bidimensional table, scan a column looking for a specific value and return the corresponding value from another column. A very common example is a table containing the price of a stock, recored at different distinct dates. Return the stock price for a given date.
Use VLOOKUP(). VLOOKUP is useful when you need to find things in a table or a range by row. For example, look up a price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an employee name based on their employee ID.
=VLOOKUP(What you want to look up,
where you want to look for it,
the column number in the range containing the value to return,
return an Approximate or Exact match – indicated as 1/TRUE, or 0/FALSE).
"What you want to look up" can be a value or a reference to another cell that contains the value to look up.
The column numbers are 1-based.
