VLOOKUP Core Concepts - Coursera

VLOOKUP is a function that searches for a value in one column of a spreadsheet and returns a corresponding value from another column in the same row. It is useful for populating data across spreadsheets or merging data from multiple sources. The function syntax is similar in both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel, allowing the user to look up values vertically and return matching information to populate or combine datasets.
