VLOOKUP​ FUNCTION

Excel's definition:

• ​=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup])

​

​Simple definition:

• ​=VLOOKUP(value to look for, range to look in, column number of the value to return, approximate to exact match [TRUE/FALSE])

​

​Sidenote: despite the syntax saying "value" it doesn't have to be a number. It can be both a label and a value. More than likely, it'll be a label.

​Sidenote: "true" means approximate match and "false" means exact match. When using VLOOKUP always return the exact match unless the question tells you not to.

​This question wants you to find the price of a Caffe Mocha, size Grande using the VLOOKUP function.

​Cell A15 was selected for the lookup_value because we're LOOKING for Caffe Mocha. We could've also selected A7 since the word "Coffe Mocha" is there too.

​The table_array is basically our range, you'd highlight the table except the headings.

​Grande is the third column from the right so you'd put the number 3.

​Then you'd type FALSE since you want to return the exact value.

​Check the previous slide to see the price of Caffe Mocha size grande and you'll see it matches this price.

​If you're lazy and wanna do the whole autofill (is that what it's called?) thing where you drag it down or whatever, first, freeze the cell. So put the dollar sign before both numbers and before both letters in the cell range.

​Sidenote: If there's an error sign like "#N/A" you should check if there's a space in the cell you selected. And just backspace to get rid of that space.

​Steps When Using AutoFilter

2. ​Go to the data tab and click on filter.
