Today, in this video let’s learn how to use one of Excel’s most popular functions — VLOOKUP."
"VLOOKUP helps you find specific information in a table.
Think of it like searching through a list to find a match."
"Suppose you have a table with student IDs and their names.
You want to enter a student ID and get the name instantly — that’s where VLOOKUP helps."
"The VLOOKUP formula looks like this:
equals VLOOKUP, open bracket, lookup value, table array, column index number, and range lookup — then close bracket."
"Let’s break that down:
Lookup value – what you want to search for, like a student ID.
Table array – the full range that includes your data.
Column index number – the number of the column that contains the result you want. So here in my example
Student name which is column number 2 where your required data exists.
Range lookup – type FALSE for an exact match."
VLOOKUP is a simple but powerful tool to save you time when searching for values in a large table."
