What is the purpose behind Vlookup and Hlookup
RE: Vlookup and Hlookup
Hi Barnaby
Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.
VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions are designed to get Excel to extract a certain piece of information from a list/database in Excel.
Basically VLOOKUP is used to get Excel to search for something in the left most column of a table, then find a corresponding piece of data from the same row and display it for you.
HLOOKUP is used to get Excel to search for something in the top row of a table, then find a corresponding piece of data from the same column and display it for you.
I hope this helps.
Amanda
