Hi Laura,
Thank you for your question.
The function searches for a value in the first column of an excel list and returns a value in the same row from another column in the table array.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon

Any suggestions, questions or comments? Please post in the Improve the forum thread.
Want to circulate an Excel workbook file but keep certain worksheets hidden from your colleagues' view?
You can do so by bringing up the sheet you wish to hide on your screen; then going to Format - Sheet - Hide.
It will not be immediately obvious that a sheet is hidden from view unless perhaps the sheet are still labelled Sheet 1, Sheet 2 etc.
To display the sheet again, you can go to Format - Sheet - Unhide on any of the other sheets in the workbook. A dialogue box will appear, allowing you to select the hidden sheet/s. Click OK to make the sheet/s reappear again.
