Homework Help: Questions and Answers: The VLOOKUP function enables you to find a specified item in a large data set using the unique value in the formula creator.

a) True
b) False

Answer:

First, let’s understand what VLOOKUP is: 

VLOOKUP stands for “Vertical Lookup.” It’s an Excel function used to search for a value in the first column of a table and return a value in the same row from another column.

How does VLOOKUP work?

• The formula looks for a value in the leftmost column (column index 1) of a specified range (data set).
• Once it finds the value, it returns data from the same row in a specified column.

Given Options: Step by Step Answering

The question says “find a specified item in a large data set using the unique value in the formula creator.”

This is misleading because VLOOKUP doesn’t find an item based on the value used to create the formula. It finds the value based on the lookup value specified by the user when calling the VLOOKUP function, not based on the formula creator or who creates the formula.

Final Answer:

Based on the above analysis, the correct answer is:

b) False.

The VLOOKUP function indeed enables you to find a specified item in a large data set using a unique value. This unique value is the lookup value, which you provide in the formula. VLOOKUP searches for this value in the first column of a specified range (table or array) and returns the corresponding value in the same row from a designated column.
