A vLookup works much the same as a join statement in SQL. Simply it allows you to loop up data based on matching attributes between two separate data tables.

So for example

Data set 2

Employee # Name Birthday

1 Joe 1/1/1989

2 Jill 2/6/1968

3 Jamie 8/1/1958

Data Set 2

Employee # Department

2 Engineering

3 Finance

4 Security

So if you used =Vlookup(value that you would like to look up, range of the table of the data that you would like to move in, the relative column number of the table that you want the value from, false)

For the first record it would show #n/a

For the second it would show engineering

For the third it would show finance

No record would return the security department.

You have 2 columns in excel column A has a list of 10000 user ids column B has 1000 random user ids from column A how do you match the user id in column a with the user id in column b?

The simplest way to do this is to use the VLOOKUP function. VLOOKUP($A1, $B$1:$B$1000, 1, 0) This will look up the value of cell A1 in the range B1:B1000. If it is found, it will return the value of the first column in the range (in this case there is only one column in the range). If the value is not found, it will return #N/A. You would need to use this function on every cell in the range A1:A10000 to see which ones match. I would insert a column before A:A and use the function there (just be sure to adjust your formula appropriately). Sorting will bring the matches to the top.


What is the Range in which search conditions are set in excell?

In Excel, the range for search conditions typically refers to the specific cells or range of cells that you want to evaluate or search within. You can define a range using cell references (e.g., A1:A10) or by selecting a group of cells directly. Functions like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, or FILTER use these ranges to determine where to look for data. Additionally, when using conditional formatting or filtering, you can specify the range to apply those conditions.


If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?

I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.

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.

Do you have experience in Excel such as VLOOKUP and other more advanced features?

This is a question that could be asked at an interview. To answer yes, you would need to have a good knowledge of Excel. There are a lot of specialised functions, such as VLOOKUP, that more advanced users can work with. For a job that has a lot of Excel involved it would be a good idea to look at the more advanced features, such a VLOOKUP and many other functions that a lot of ordinary users know little about. Excel has hundreds of functions and most people only know a small amount of them.

Is the uplookvert function used when the table direction is vertical or up?

Excel does not have an UPLOKVERT function. You might be thinking of VLOOKUP. You use VLOOKUP when your comparison values are located in a column to the left of the data that you want to find.
