What is the differenec between vlookup and Ctrl+F? 

I did a quick glance over and all vlookup seems to do is report the finding of a value or it's adjacent cell..

Or, is this only useful because you cannot use Ctrl+F between multiple workbooks?

Welcome BizAnalyst79

vLookup is when you writing macros and manipulating formulae. Ctr+F is when you looking (Find and Replace), which can be used to search in all workbooks.

Vlookup can deal with the whole workbook, ctrl+f only works for one worksheet

Ctrl+F for single value search, where vlookup can work on a range of values.

 

ex: vlookup(column_to_search,range_of_data_to_search_and_compare,2,FALSE)

vlookup(a2,$i$2:$j$1000,2,false)

 

regards

Hi,

Ctrl+F need to find a value on the table. No requirements.

Vlookup is a function and there are some rules to do it. If you have the same field in two tables you can create a unique table with the fields from both tables.

Recipe Redesign: There Is No Box, Only Possibilities

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
