VLOOKUP (Value,Array,Column,ApproximateMatchFlag)
where,
- Value is the value to be matched from an array or first column of the table,
- Array refers to two or more columns of data values,
- Column is the column number in the table from which the matching value should be returned, and
- ApproximateMatchFlag is an optional logical value that specifies whether to find an exact match or approximate match of the mentioned lookup value.
- VLOOKUP(), looks in the first column of an array and moves across the row to return the value of a cell.
Description
VLOOKUP (Value,Array,Column,ApproximateMatchFlag)
- The 'V' in VLOOKUP stands for vertical. This function looks the value column wise.
- Arguments containing text values entered as a part of command, should be enclosed in quotes (e.g. "JOHN").
- VLOOKUP function is not case-sensitive.
- If Value is less than 'smallest value in first column of table', Calci displays #NULL error message.
- If Column is 1, Calci returns the value from the first column in table array. If column_index_num is 2, Calci returns the value from the second column in table array and so on.
- For Column < 1 or Column > 'number of columns in array', Calci returns #NULL error message.
- The values in first column should be arranged in ascending order for correct results.
- Argument ApproximateMatchFlag can be TRUE or FALSE.
- If ApproximateMatchFlag is TRUE or Omitted, Calci returns exact or approximate match of the value.
- Approximate value is the largest value that is <= lkup_val.
- If ApproximateMatchFlag is FALSE, Calci searches only for the exact match. If exact match is not found, Calci returns #NULL error message.
- For invalid arguments, Calci displays #NULL error message.
Examples
Following table shows the use of VLOOKUP function -
| Number | Square | Cube |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 | 8 |
| 3 | 9 | 27 |
| 4 | 16 | 64 |
| 5 | 25 | 125 |
| 6 | 36 | 216 |
=VLOOKUP(3,A2:C7,2) : Looks up for '3' in Number Column and returns value from Square column
in the same row. Returns 9 as a result. =VLOOKUP(5,A2:C7,3,FALSE) : Looks up for exact match for '5' in Number Column and returns value from
Cube column in the same row. Returns 125 as a result. =VLOOKUP(5.5,A2:C7,2,TRUE) : Looks up for approximate match for '5.5' in Number Column,
matches the nearest value '5' and returns value from Square column in same row.
Returns 25 as a result.
