Final answer:

The VLOOKUP function syntax is explained with examples of its parameters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The syntax of the VLOOKUP function is as follows: =VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,range_lookup)

The lookup_value is the value that you want to find in the first column of the table array. It can be a value, a reference, or a text string.

The table_array is the range of cells that contains the data. It must include the lookup_value column and the columns you want to retrieve data from.

The col_index_num is the column number in the table_array from which the matching value should be returned.

The range_lookup is a logical value that specifies whether the VLOOKUP should be an exact match or an approximate match.
