Microsoft Excel: Lookup Functions

This document provides instructions for creating dropdown lists using data validation in Microsoft Excel. It also explains the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions, which look up values in a table and return values from the same row or column. VLOOKUP looks left to right and returns a column value, while HLOOKUP looks top to bottom and returns a row value. Both functions allow for exact or approximate matching.
