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:

Quickly create a list of numbers

The fill handle in Excel has many uses. If a number is typed into a cell and then the fill handle is used, the number will be copied from one cell to the next.

If you wish to create a list of numbers that increment by one at a time, hold down Ctrl in conjunction with using the fill handle - this should give you a series of numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3 etc) rather than copying a single number.
