    This was really, really helpful and I'm immensely grateful.
    I especially appreciate the time you took to call out in the vLookup formula what the elements of the formula are doing, what they're referencing. It really helps to solidify it in my mind. Oh, and supplying us with some data sets to practice with? Absolutely wonderful.
    Thanks again.

    Important tip :) When you have a spreadsheet with a lot of columns: just make sure that the column with the lookup value is simply left of the column you want to search in. The Vlookup function can only search to the right! Good luck 😊
