RE: Vlookup

Hi Georgia

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Vlookup is a function within Excel to lookup dataup from a table of information. The table of information must have in its first column a list of unique values.

You need to enter 4 values

Lookup_Value - Value to search for in the table
Table_Array - Location of the table
Col_Index_Num - Which column number to return
Range_Lookup - Will an approximate match be okay

Example

=VLOOKUP(C2,Customers!A:D,3,False)


I hope that helps

Excel tip:

Removing custom dictionary entries

If you add something to the custom dictionary in Excel you cannot remove it. The way to get around this is to go into word and remove it there.
