HLOOKUP Formula in Excel
Example 1
I will show you first example in first example range lookup false I had made person name, title and salary, I want to lookup so I will use here =HLOOKUP and select the lookup value
Lookup value is the person name from c12 and I will select whole table and I will specify row no. where I want to match value I want to title, I will put the row no. two because the title row is second row in table so I will write here 2 and for exactly match range lookup will be false and now I apply the formula
(according attached below image)
and now I will lookup salary so I will write Here Equal HLOOKUP, select the person, select the table and specify row no. the salary row is the third row of table so I will write here 3and I will write range lookup false because I want Exact match so this will be false and press enter.
