Search a block of data using HLOOKUP
Use HLOOKUP to search the first row (rows are horizontal) of a block of data and return the value from a row in the same column. HLOOKUP supports the same form and arguments as VLOOKUP:
HLOOKUP(search_value; search_range; return_row_index)
HLOOKUP(search_value; search_range; return_row_index; sort_order)
Use HLOOKUP when:
- The data is arranged in columns and you want to return data from the same column. For example, student names with test and quiz scores underneath the student’s name.
- Searching the first row of a range of data.
