Hi,

I am an intermediate Excel user who has been asked to learn what a VLookup
does. I read through an "Excel Bible" on the matter and checked the online
help. I can't seem to figure out why it is so valuable. Why not just sort
your records when looking to find or isolate on a value. Can someone tell me
when a VLookup can be more valuable than simply sorting records?

Thanks,
