Question

In a VLOOKUP function, where can the data you want to retrieve (result values) appear?

A) Only in the same worksheet as the VLOOKUP function.
B) Only in a different worksheet within the same workbook.
C) In both the same worksheet and different worksheets.
D) Only in an external database.

Answer 1

The VLOOKUP function can retrieve data from both the same worksheet and different worksheets.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a VLOOKUP function, the data you want to retrieve (result values) can appear in both the same worksheet as the VLOOKUP function and different worksheets. The VLOOKUP function is used to search for a value in the first column of a range (known as the lookup table) and retrieve a corresponding value from a different column in the same row.

For example, if you have a table of student names and their corresponding grades in different subjects, you can use the VLOOKUP function to search for a student's name and retrieve their grade. The lookup value (student's name) can be in the same worksheet or a different worksheet.
