Vlookup Data Validation1

Vlookup searches for a value in the first column of a table array and returns a value from another column in the same row. The formula is VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]). It looks up a value in a list and returns a value from the specified column. For example, a vlookup can get the price of a laptop or tablet from a stock list by looking up the item name and returning the price value.
