How to Extract Data from a Spreadsheet using VLOOKUP, MATCH and INDEX

  • When you need to find and extract a column of data from one table and place it in another, use the VLOOKUP function. This function works in any version of Excel in Windows and Mac, and also in Google Sheets. It allows you to find data in one table using some identifier it has in common with another table. The two tables can be on different sheets or even on different workbooks. There is also an HLOOKUP function, which does the same thing, but with data arranged horizontally, across rows.

    I have tried to understand VLOOKUP at different times for several years. I have never found a tutorial that made it clear and easy to understand until this one. I know you uploaded it years ago, but I want you to know people are still benefitting from your work. THANK YOU!

    Thank you, Bob. Your teaching style and presentation was great! For a year, I have cut/paste miles from one sheet to another. With this tutorial, I have successfully created a report that automatically fills the pre-determined miles between my multiple job locations. A HUGE THANK YOU!

    P.S.: Does the formula remain the same when accessing from another workbook? Does the workbook have to be in the same folder as the current sheet which has the formula, or on the same drive, or just any location on the computer?
