Providing a value also gives you a visual reminder in the future. The VLOOKUP function in Excel enables you to look up values in a column, based on the value in the same row in another column. However, I recommend you always provide the last argument explicitly because it forces you to consider what you want. VLOOKUP will perform an approximate match by default, so there is technically no need to supply the 4th argument.
VLOOKUP IN EXCEL 2016 WITH EXAMPLE FULL
If you want to become a master of the almighty spreadsheet, watch the full video series here. Note: if the score is less than the first entry in the table, VLOOKUP will return the #N/A error. This post was inspired by the video series, 4 Essential Microsoft Excel Skills Every Marketer Should Learn. You may use the text, number, a cell reference etc as lookupvalue.
In other words, VLOOKUP will match the last value that is less than or equal to the lookup value. For example: VLOOKUP (Wheat,B5:F50,4,FALSE) On that basis, let me define the VLOOKUP function: As the name suggests, the VLOOKUP in Excel is used to look up or find a value in a table. If VLOOKUP doesn't find an exact match, it will continue scanning until it finds a value greater than the lookup value, then it will "step back", and return the grade in the previous row. If it finds an exact match, it will return the grade at that row. With a score provided as a lookup value, VLOOKUP will scan the first column of the table.
In approximate match mode VLOOKUP assumes the table is sorted by the first column. Finally, the last argument for VLOOKUP, the confusingly named "range lookup" is set to TRUE, to tell VLOOKUP to perform an "approximate match". The column index is provided as 2, since we want VLOOKUP to return a grade from the second column. To make VLOOKUP work in Excel 2016 you need three pieces of information, the value you’re searching for, the data to search and the results column to place those results.
The lookup table is the named range "key" (B5:C9). In this example, the scores in column F are lookup values for the VLOOKUP function.
