Ms Excel: Look Up

The document discusses how to use LOOKUP formulas in Microsoft Excel to search for and return values from a database. It explains that LOOKUP accepts 3 values: the value to search for, the range containing the database, and the column from which to return the result. An alternative 2-value LOOKUP does not require the database to be sorted. VLOOKUP specifically works on columns and does not require pre-sorting. An example demonstrates using VLOOKUP to find the salary of a person whose name starts with P from a table containing name, designation, salary and city.
