A vLookup is a vertical lookup function. You have a similar function called a hLookup or horizontal lookup. Bot allow you to set up a table of data and then search either vertically or horizontally through it to find particular values. That will depend on what way your data is laid out.
For example, you could have a table of 10 different products being sold in 10 different shops. Each shop charges a different price. You could arrange these in a table, say with the names of the shops across the top and the products down the side and with the correct prices in the correct cells. Then in another part of the spreadsheet, you could type in the name of one of the shops in one cell and the name of the product in another. The vlookup or hlookup functions can go to your table, find the name of the shop and the name of the product and display the correct price for you. This would be a lot quicker than trying to find the price yourself.
