from Excel HELP -- -Searches for a value in the first column of a table
array and returns a value in the same row from another column in the
table array.
The V in VLOOKUP stands for vertical. Use VLOOKUP instead of HLOOKUP
when your comparison values are located in a column to the left of the
data that you want to find.-
Example: In cell A1 you have a value, say "Bob". Elsewhere you have a
table named "rates" that lists employees in one column and their pay
rate in the next.
In B2 you would enter:
=VLOOKUP(A1,RATES,2,0)
This would look for the value in A1 (Bob) in the rates table. If
found, it would return his pay rate.
