Syntax

vlookup(lookup_value, table, return_column, exact_match, default_value)

Argument	Required?	Description
`lookup_value`	Required	The value to look up. You can also use a formula that results in a value.
`table`	Required	The name of the lookup table.
`return_column`	Optional	The name of the lookup table's specific return column, enclosed in double quotes. This argument is required only if the lookup table includes multiple return columns.
`exact_match`	Optional	A Boolean that specifies whether you want to look up an exact match for `lookup_value`. To look up an exact, case-sensitive match, use `true`, which is the default value. To allow variation for capitalization and spaces, use `false`. For example, allow "sales manager" even when `lookup_value` is "Sales Manager".
`default_value`	Optional	A value to return when the function can't find a match for `lookup_value` in the lookup table.
