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.
