Last Revised: Feb 15, 2015
1. Download the Excel VLOOKUP sample file shown in the More VLOOKUP References section
Note: For this tutorial, we will be deleting information on this sheet and recreating the VLOOKUP
formula.
How To Use VLOOKUP in Excel - 2
2. Open the sample file you downloaded from above in Excel.
The workbook will have 2 sheets at the bottom: Voters and Party Codes. The first sheet is a
listing of registered voters and the second contains names of political parties.
3. Delete the cell entries for D2:D7 because we will be rebuilding the formula.
Note: You can keep the column header "Politcal Party".

4. Place your cursor in cell D2. Click the Formulas tab and select Insert Function.

5. In the Search for a function: text box type "vlookup" and click the Go button.

6. Highlight VLOOKUP and click OK.

7. Now we will create the VLOOKUP formula that will translate the "A" Pcode in cell C2 to the
description found from the Party Codes worksheet.
Note: VLOOKUP relies on 4 function arguments which are numbered above. The last item,
Range_lookup [4] is optional and can be blank.

8. In the Lookup_value text box, type "C2"
In this step, we're asking excel to look up the contents of cell "c2". Notice how Excel displays the
cell's value of "A" to the right of the text box. This helps you check your entries. Also, note in the red
boxed area with the green star that Excel provides some info about the function argument.

9. In the Table_array text box, select the area Excel should use to find the description. Click
the Party Codes worksheet and highlight the range A2:B45.
Notice how Excel adds the worksheet name and range as you highlight an area.

10. In the Col_index_num field, type "2". This is our index column from the Party Codes
worksheet that contains the descriptions of the political parties.
As before, Excel builds the cell's formula as we add the function arguments and shows the value
it read. For the cell C2, Excel is saying the Pcode of "A" translates to "Democratic"
How To Use VLOOKUP in Excel - 10
11. In the Range_lookup, type "false" as we want exact matches.
Note: Excel also provides tips for the function arguments below the text boxes.
How To Use VLOOKUP in Excel - 11
12. Click OK
Note how Excel translated the formula to "Democratic"
13. If you plan to copy this formula to other cells, you need to make an adjustment. Click the
Insert Function button again.
Note: You can make edits using the formula bar, but if you're just starting out, I find it easier to use
the dialog box.
How To Use VLOOKUP in Excel - 12
14. Edit the Table_array value by placing $ signs around the cell references. This makes the
cell reference absolute.
Note how the $ precedes the column and row references.
15. Copy your formula to other cells in the column by dragging down.
