That part where you got the E grade I got it but for repeating action of F4 I didn't get. For the rest of the grades

[@SaifullahKhan-p1y]

How can i download file I could not download

[@Petpalgal]

I was emailed link to file, but it is blank.

[@jon4]

Really appreciate how you broke down the importance of using 'FALSE' for exact matches in VLOOKUP. It’s one of those things you don’t realize the impact of until you get those frustrating errors.

[@jpv1980]

After so many years using Excel, I thought I knew the VLOOKUP function... there's always something new one can learn.

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear!

[@ronschenk5024]

Good Morning Leila. I am a consultant for a major phone company and work with spreadsheets daily. I have to THANK YOU for all your extremely informative videos. Any time I have formula issue I go straight to your KZbin site to solve it. I cant tell you how many times I have been on here since getting into Excel. THANK YOU again and can't wait for the next video!!

[@F.S92]

Hats off dear. Easily the best tutorial. You: are not rushing to explain everything in 10 seconds (omitting half of the information). The examples are simple yet cover all the things you wanted to teach us! :)

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@christianwibowo6420]

Years using vlookup and still you can teach something new , that approximate function really blows my mind, thanks a lot Leila, you are The best

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JatinChaudhary1989]

"The range that contains our lookup value must be in the left hand side of value" in this case left to Profession. Thank you for this detail as no other video explains or bring out this point specifically. And I was struggling with this situation and finally found the answer in your video. And my formula worked properly. Thank you so much. Appreciate.

[@golden-joeosegbe866]

Thank you Leila. You are indeed a great teacher. I have never gotten VLookup right all my career no matter how many demos I've watched. Thanks a million.

[@LeilaGharani]

You're very welcome! I hope this video was helpful.

[@jerry5149]

You are always so concise and professional!

[@wmfield152]

All one needs to know to use VLOOKUP correctly. Thanks Leila for this quality presentation.

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Hmmm, finally the "Thursday" video back after long time! Thanks Leila! 🙂 You explained it in your unique style making it easy to understand by anyone. While I "knew" most of it, I did pick up a "new" thing or two for sure! Keep those coming...

[@LeilaGharani]

This for tuning in, Vijay! I'm taking it a bit slower these days. 😁

[@anjelas2708]

Feels like we are going back in time... I thought this was an old video... Surprised to see it was posted 4 hours ago

[@LeilaGharani]

haha yes. It's a new upload. Even though I've exclusively switched to XLOOKUP, I realized there are many in this world that don't have access to XLOOKUP and still need to use VLOOKUP but struggle to work with it. My old videos are outdated and don't cover multiple aspects so I wanted a more comprehensive video to share.

[@anjelas2708]

Yes many times we have to work with vlookup... I switched to xlookup fully last year only because I used to write formulas for others who didn't have access to xlookup... But after switching to xlookup it's hard to go back to vlookup...

[@arthiff6059]

This is an excellent beginner explanation video, and I wish I had this type of video when I first learned VLookUp, However, using the Trim function within the lookup is new to me. Always learn something new from you. Thank you very much for your great effort.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for tuning in!

[@quickSilverXMen]

Ma'am are you god? you really made it simple I always scratched my head to learn Excel but your calm explanation made it easy peasy.

[@happymystic9800]

Nicely explained and a great reminder of the basics of this function which also supports the principal understanding of how Excel functions typically work. Judging some of the complaining comments tells me that even VLOOKUP is way too complex for them.

[@scoteaton6342]

Amazing job with your explanations! So many instructors do not really explain how to deal with errors but what you did helps a lot. I use XLOOKUP as an operations analyst, but so many of my coworkers still use VLOOKUP. I wanted a clearer picture to better relate to their work which you gave me. Thanks!

[@bheardnow6410]

Never thought of using Trim in the lookup value. Thanks!

[@conbocuoi22]

Thank you, your lessons is probably the most easy to understand on KZbin, thank you so much ♥

[@MrsJerjev]

Thank you very much for your time and patience in explaining the ins and outs of the spreadsheet. I am grateful.

[@DeborahFont]

This is an amazing video! I am in awe of how you can be so concise and so thorough at the same time. Your explanations not only help me with VLOOKUP, but also with understanding better how Excel formulas work in general. Thank you!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Yelena657-d1h]

Leila you're a great teacher❤❤

[@ritchellevanzijl]

Awesome vid! I was looking for something easy to understand and this vid helps a lot! Thank you!:)

[@Ipseitymusic]

This is by far the best VLOOKUP video on youtube. Thank you! I have a question, why were the cells shifting down? (@ 5:01) You used F4 to fix it but I want to know what was causing that? Thanks again!

[@your_anonymous454]

she did that afterwards..watch out again

[@ceciliasailer101]

This has been the best video showing how to use Vlookup. I have watched many and of course a woman explained it best!! Thank you so much!

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@vincentcollin6490]

As clear as ever! And as understandable as ever for a French person!

[@menlynbermudo5274]

This is the most clear one I watcch, and I'm going to use it ever.

[@yell1481]

I am so glad to come across your KZbin video, my lecturer's lecture is very vague and I could work out even following her instructions. I really like the part to check for mistakes and how to correct the error. It is very frustrating when working on the excel without knowing how to correct the errors. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bluekite1000]

Wow, Leila...I am an Excel beginner. After 5 minutes into your video, I have understood and I think your explanation is the best I have seen so far. I am taking a bootcamp fyi.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@alfonsomora4125]

Thank you so much. The best VLOOKUP tutorial I've seen, clear and concise. The pop up's were helpful as well.

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Rainman___]

Awesome video as always! Very engaging. I watched ur old vlookup tutorial a couple years ago. I'm glad you've added this refreshed version.

[@LeilaGharani]

Awesome, thank you!

[@ashutoshshete4942]

Leila, learnt a lot from you. Couldn’t get why you are making a video on such a basic topic

[@LeilaGharani]

I know. My team convinced me that basic topics are important and we are getting many questions still on VLOOKUP. I didn't want to send people to my old videos because they're outdate, hence this video 🙂

[@aleksandrsaleksandrs4761]

You are fantastic! Thank you so much, your lessons are the most precise and I was able to understand this function only because of your approach. Fantastic!❤

[@LeilaGharani]

Great to hear!

[@AZ4ZEL666]

WOWOWOWOWOW This tutorial is actually GOOD 😮 thank you, you explained it so well and easy to understand

[@prachidugal6927]

Trim & IfNa are the new takeaways for me. Thank you Leila.

[@fahad90909]

Nice one Leila! The common errors and solutions at the end was very useful.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! 😃

[@idwtv534]

The lighting and camera quality has improved a lot. Good job

[@MohitYadav-995]

Many Thanks Leila, Whatever I know about Ms Excel just cause of your tricks. Thanks again 🙏 Just a little wish from my side could you please start playlist for Ms Excel interview oriented questions and answers...

[@vindikafernando8981]

Greatly appreciated your lesson , very clear teaching

[@simplicity-_-]

Your vids always so informative. Thanks. I've been using vlookup for years, but I learned from this vid the use of 0/1 instead of FALSE/TRUE, and that trim function usage will defo help in huge database. Thanks again ...

[@yazid6058]

Always great, using Trim in the Vlookup function is what I was missing, thanks

[@sarmad.pirzada]

Thanks for detailed Video about Vlookup and its Errors

[@random.]

Just want to say I love you laila ❤, this helped me alot

[@TheDigitalOne]

PRETTY useful function that I did now about and that I haven’t needed to use, but it does save a lot of time when searching and transferring data from one cell to another, but then again if the function is used incorrectly, then it can mess all the data completely. Thanks! 😺🥰🙋‍♀️⭐️💎

[@momodousowe3034]

Thanks as always. Simple and straight to the point. Could you kindly a vedio on how you records your vedios, tools used, the annotations etc.?

[@marlenflores9082]

Amazing explanation and examples. Easy to understand and follow. Thank you so much! 📝😊I'm subscribing and checking out more videos NOW! 🙌

[@gofortheblue]

you are the best...thank you for giving us the heads up also on what could create an issue!

[@mattjoe19]

Thank you... I was looking for short videos to explain this but they keep repeating what I already know. I was taught vlookup but wasn't taught what to use it for or why I'm to use it. Now I know exactly why I'm to use vlookup on my database. 😊

[@YoussefTsun]

I couldnt get the space trick, but i surely know how to solve its problem... this vid didnt add to me anything new, but i had to say that the test parts in your video made me engaged. It didnt add to me bcz i already saw many of your videos b4 Thanks alot, keep it up

[@learningwithmaliha]

Super nicely explained all the issues faced by the user using Vlookup.

[@johnwaller8633]

Wow. You just saved me a whole lot of work. Thanks

[@mazinazam]

Brilliant as usual Leila :) Honestly, I prefer to use the XLOOKUP rather than the VLOOKUP.

[@LeilaGharani]

👍

[@shamimrahman8309]

very well explained. thank you so much. it was a life saver !

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it helped!

[@fedixafrika5874]

Awesome! I have had errors like "spill" and "value". I will try with my file and see if I come right. Thank you so much.

[@LeilaGharani]

If you have errors with #spill then it means you have XLOOKUP function. That's easier to work with than VLOOKUP. Check out my videos on that.

[@syedal-mehedyhasan3826]

Learnt a lot from you videos, Thanks. ❤

[@cricball6460]

super clear and easy to understand!

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you think so!

[@Im_b0red594]

TRIM IN THE VLOOK UP FUNCTION REALLY GREAT OTHERWISE FIRST TRIM THE LIST AND DO THE VLOOKUP USUALLY - THANK YOU DEAR

[@msami8861]

Thank you for the valuable information

[@KristiinaKeerov]

Holy cow, adding a TRIM into vlookup was a true Heureka-moment for me. Countless nerve cells have died and many hours have gotten wasted trying to correct the space mis-match issues.

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewkibet9524]

you are loaded with knowledge dear

[@johnwilson7845]

Oh I soooooo don’t miss V-LKup 😊. Very nice video, thanks!

[@LeilaGharani]

Appreciate it!

[@ComputingExpert]

Most useful trick for Vlookup to avoid errors

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad you think so!

[@FaisalMobeenworld]

Very nicely explained. awsome!

[@MarionKentish]

I use vlookup to identify new values in an export file that weren’t in the previous export file. I find that looking up a single column that contains the unique identifier is faster using vlookup as I can type the ending TAB 1 TAB 0 ENTER then filter for N/A results (ie new transactions). I don’t have to use the mouse again to select the second lookup range. But besides this single use case, I always use Xlookup these days

[@rajvardhanchauhan8232]

Thanks a lot for explaining in such detail.

[@LeilaGharani]

Our pleasure!

[@solomonhailemelekot7030]

Thanks Leila ! this is what exactly what I need

[@LeilaGharani]

Glad it was helpful!

[@nancymakary7886]

Thanks so much for this video!! What if I want to check if my employees in my current sheet are there on a different sheet without retrieving any data? Do I still need to use VLOOKUP?

[@queenkai9522]

Thank you. Very valuable content, as always.

[@askadie]

thank you very much for this! i learned a lot! :)

[@LeilaGharani]

That's great to hear! 🙏

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you!

[@teoxengineer]

Hi Leila, Thank you so much for this tutorial and we have missed VLookup function because of XLookup :) I wanna add some comments about VLooup function.: 1- It can be searched the wanted valur from right to left by using Choose function. Some any cases, I'm using this function in Vlookup to seaech values by determining range sequance and Choose is allowing me to shift ranges in a table like (=Choose({2,1},Range1,Range2) 2- Is it possible to use wildcards in Vlookup function? 3-How can we do column numbet dynamic. As we know that when we insert a column between data range, this column number is changing. 4- Can we search multiple values in a range by using Vlook up? 5- Vlookup bring the first value and it is not allowing to bring the second value for same wanted value. How can we adjust it to extract multiple values which are ranged in a single column?

[@gauraogadkari7206]

Perfect explanation mam❤❤

[@OSHOFIRST]

Excel Is On The Fire 💥💥💥

[@RichardDuffy-e3d]

This is very informative and I've learnt a lot about VLOOKUP that I did not know, thank you. When working with columns of numbers and using IFNA or IFERROR, returning '0' places the value at the right of the cell, where non error values are to the right of the cell. I can use VALUE in another column to have the data all aligned, does anyone know if it possible to build VALUE into the VLOOKUP, please?

[@ExcelVisual]

This is an interesting solution, thanks.
