How to Use VLOOKUP in Excel (Beginner’s Guide)

VLOOKUP helps you find data in large tables based on a unique identifier — like a student ID or item code.

🔎 Formula:

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

✅ Example:

=VLOOKUP("Apple", A2:C100, 2, FALSE)

Searches column A for "Apple", returns value from 2nd column.

📘 Notes:

  • lookup_value must be in first column
  • Set last argument to FALSE for exact match

💡 Alternative: Use XLOOKUP in Excel 365 for more flexibility!
