- Lookup_vector – This is a required argument. A Range that only contains one row or one column.
- Result_vector – This is an optional argument. A Range that only contains one row or one column. It must be the same size as Lookup_vector. The lookup function will look up the value in the lookup_value range and returns the value from the same position in the result_vector.
Note:
- If

lookup_valueis greater than all values inlookup_vector, LOOKUP function will return the last value. - When
lookup_valueis less than the first value inlookup_vector, LOOKUP function will return the#N/Aerror. - Result_vector must be only a single row or column.
