VLOOKUP formula in Excel, explanation with the simple example

VLOOKUP is an exceptionally impressive tool in Excel which allows you to locate values in a table or range by row. It is very advantageous when you need to work on a huge chunk of data and find things from the other sheets or workbooks.

Here is the formula =VLOOKUP (What is the source reference value, from where you want to reference it with and pick the desired data, Column range for the desired value, Add 0(False) if you need exact outcome or add 1(True) if you need approximate value).

You need to keep a few things in mind before I will explain it through an example. The reference value is also called the Lookup Value, and It should always be in the first column in the lookup range to work this formula without an error.

Sample1.

Now take the example of the below table. Suppose we have two sheets (Sheet1 & Sheet2)

  






Sheet 1

Sheet 2

As per the above Image, we have huge data in sheet1 with multiple data fields, and sheet2 only has a name. Now we want to capture other details with the Names available in sheet2.

Formula: =Vlookup(A2, Sheet1!A:F,range,0)

Formula with Lookup values

Referring to the above image, we have got the expected value from sheet1 to the sheet 2 for the values which are available in sheet1 and for the ones which are not available in sheet1 it shows N/A.

We can pursue the same formula to fetch other data for these people from sheet1.Sample2
