This document provides instructions for using the VLOOKUP function in Excel to search for tuition amounts based on a student's grade level. The VLOOKUP function looks up the grade level in cell E2 within a table array, returns the corresponding tuition from column B, and copies it to the current spreadsheet. Specifically, the function is =VLOOKUP(E2,$A$15:$B$17,2,FALSE), which looks up the value in E2 in the range A15:B17, returns the value from column 2 (B), and requires an exact match.

Using VLOOKUP to search for information and copying to a new
a Spreadsheet 1. Download Payment 2. Our aim is to assign the correct tuition to each Student based on the grade level. This information is already represented in a small table below the main table called the table array. Lets remind ourselves of the arguments of a VLOOKUP Like other functions in Excel the function begins with a equal sign (=) Following this is the Function Name - =VLOOKUP Open Parenthesis - =VLOOKUP( The lookup value (This is the value you want to look up in the table). In this case we to lookup the grade level that is cell E2 - =VLOOKUP(E2,
Table Array(This is the reference to the table you want to search
excluding the heading) - A15:B17 - Therefore your function should now be =VLOOKP(E2,A15:B17, The Table Array should be made ABSOLUTE. This is to keep the values fixed. =VLOOKP(E2,$A$15:$B$17, Following this one need to indicate which column within the table array contains the element or value you want to copy
- Column B contains the required information which is the
tuition. B if asked to be referred to in numbers is equivalent to 2. Therefore the column index number is 2 Therefore your function at this point is =VLOOKUP(E2,$A$15:$B$17,2
Column B contains the
information required
Finally insert the approximate match. This may be False if you
want the Exact value or TRUE if you want an approximate value. We want the exact therefore our function is =VLOOKUP(E2,$A$15:$B$17,2,False)
