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