RE: V lookups
Hi Joshua
A VLOOKUP is a function that allows you to find a value in a table that matches a given value.
the VLOOKUP function looks at the given value eg Product ID and then looks in the leftmost column of a table until it finds the value you specified.
When it finds this value, it returns a value located in the same row, in a specified column eg Product Name.
Its called VLOOKUP because it looks vertically down a column.
Hope this helps
Carlos
