Vlookup & Hlookup in Google sheet

VLOOKUP :
  • Full Form is Vertical Lookup.
  • We Write Column Index number.
  • Vlookup searches on Right Side of the item.

How do we return multiple values with a single VLOOKUP?
  • Prepare raw data.


  • Write the vlookup formula "=VLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted]))".


  • But it gives only one value because we didn't use Array formula. 


  • An array formula is a formula that can perform multiple calculations on one or more of the items in an array. 
  • We can think of an array as a row of values, a column of values, or a combination of rows and columns of values. After writing the vlookup formula enter CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER.


  • Now we will get multiple values.


HLOOKUP :
  • Full Form is Horizontal Lookup.
  • We Write Row index number.
  • Vlookup searches Downwards of the item.

The hlookup formula is "=HLOOKUP(search_key, range, index, [is_sorted]))". Hlookup also functions like vlookup but in searches horizontally i.e., we have to give row index number.

Here i've taken few questions with answers.
