VLOOKUP in Excel searches for a value in which column of a range ?
Answer: C
VLOOKUP searches the first column of the range.
VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, col_index_num, [range_lookup]) looks for the value down the leftmost column of table_array and then returns the value from the same row in the column given by col_index_num. That is why the column to search must be placed first in the range.
It cannot search the last, middle or any other column; that limitation is why INDEX with MATCH, or the newer XLOOKUP, is used when the key is not in the first column.
