VLookup & HLookup functions

what are lookup functions best used for?

RE: VLookup & HLookup functions

Hi Michael


Thank you for your question.

The lookup functions are used to retrieve data, there are many lookup functions with VLookup (vertical lookup) & HLookup (horizontal lookup) being two of them.
An example of how a lookup function may be used:
On one worksheet you have information of employee names & departments.
On a second worksheet you may have information on the departments including manager names.
Using a lookup function you would be able to retrieve the department manager name and place it in the first worksheet without copying & pasting.

Please see the link below for further information.

Excel tip:

Navigate with keyboard without losing your active cell

If you like using your keyboard to scroll through your excel document, but want to keep your active cell the same, use the scroll lock, and then use your arrow keys to navigate around the document.
