Default I figured everything out except what "FALSE" does.

Okay, this is a different part of the same spreadsheet I mentioned in my
earlier post. For anybody who didn't read that post, a colleague and I have
to create a spreadsheet that uses several values, targets, and actual
performances to rate and rank supervisors based on the performance of their
employees. We were given an example spreadsheet and are somewhat lost about
what all the equations mean. I've got this one figured out except for one
thing:

=VLOOKUP($B$3,'Ranking Data'!$A$3:$F$13,6,FALSE)

What I have figured out: It takes what is in B3 of the current sheet, then
looks at A3 through F13 of the "Ranking Data" sheet to find the same thing
(for example, if B3 of the current sheet says "Meep," it will look for
"Meep," in Ranking Data). Once it finds the same thing, it takes whatever
value is in the 6th column.

What I don't understand: What is the purpose of "FALSE?" As always, any help
would be greatly appreciated.
