First of all vlookup/hlookup function helps us to connect between data array - we can retrieve data from one array to another when we have on common data (for example ID number) in both arrays.
There are many uses for vlookup/hlookup function for example:
1. Calculate salary - in one able you have worker ID and the salary per hour and in the other worker ID and number of hour worked.
2. convert sales in unit to value (one table contains sales in units, the other cost per unit - both have unit reference number)

What are the3 lookup functions in excel 2007?
LOOKUP, HLOOKUP and VLOOKUP.
What is vlook up table in excel and how it is used?
The VLOOKUP function works on the same principle as HLOOKUP, but instead of searching horizontally, VLOOKUP searches vertically. VLOOKUP searches for a specified value vertically down the first column of an array. When the value is found, VLOOKUP searches across to a specified column and enters the value of the cell. The syntax for the VLOOKUP function follows the same pattern as HLOOKUP, except that instead of specifying a row index number, you would specify a column index number to instruct VLOOKUP to move across to a specific column in the array where the required value is to be found. =VLOOKUP( lookup_value , table_array , col_index_number ) In the case of VLOOKUP, data in the first column of the array should be in ascending order, as VLOOKUP searches down this column for the lookup_value.
Why is VLOOKUP function used moere often than other lookup functions?
Vlookup is used when you are using a table and want to go to a certain column in that table, as your data is arranged vertically. Hlookup works on horizontally arranged data when you are looking for something on a certain row.
Is a look up used in Excel?
Yes. There are 3 main functions for doing lookups. They are LOOKUP, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP. You can also use a combination of the MATCH and INDEX functions to achieve a lookup.
Which situation use in hlookUP function in excel?
If you want to look up data that has been laid out in a horizontal manner. Vlookup is for vertical data. See the related question below for more information.
When do you use the Excel logical formula hlookup?
HLOOKUP is a Lookup and Reference function, not a logical function. It is used to search through a table that is arranged horizontally. You would search along a row to find a value, and then move to another row to get a value to return. The corresponding function VLOOKUP is used more often because data is more often arranged in columns rather than rows. See the related question below.
Why we are using VLOOKUP is there any another option?
VLOOKUP is used to look for a value in a list and return a corresponding value. So you could have a list of products and their prices. When you choose a product, it finds the product in the list and returns the price to you. Some people do not like using VLOOKUP and there can sometimes be issues with it. So the alternative people use is a combination of the INDEX and MATCH functions.
What software is vlookup commonly used?
VLookup is commonly used in Excel.
How do I get rid of Value return when I use a 'round' formula within an 'if' formula?
The formula I am using is: =ROUND(IF(A6="","",IF(VLOOKUP(A6,'Pricing File '!A:N,12,FALSE)=0,(VLOOKUP(A6,'Pricing File '!A:J,8,FALSE)),(VLOOKUP(A6,'Pricing File '!A:N,12,FALSE)))),6)
In the if formula can your answer be an hlookup?
It would be a complex formula, and there are probably better ways of achieving what you would want to do, but it is possible to have a Hlookup as part of an If function.
