Wherein the first parameter is VLOOKUP to find the cell; the second is to find parameter region, referred to by names and column Sheet; third parameter to the value of the column; fourth parameter indicating whether the fuzzy match.
Table and column names naming using a method to modify the formula into the first parameter VLOOKUP named columns, and rename the second parameter tables, formulas immediately become more readily appreciated:
4, optimization formula
There is a number 2 in the formula above, represents finds the first two products in the table. After seeing this formula, first look at the first two product table is what it takes to understand the meaning. If you insert one before the first two, this formula error occurs. How to make the formula easier to understand and avoid errors column after adjustment, the solution or the use of named columns.
Here the number 2 into the COLUMN (product [Name]), this formula means the search "product", "name" column of the table number column. As a result of the name references, even if the column does not happen adjustment error, and easier to understand.
