Hi i just started off with VLOOKUP function but it doesn't seem to work , i
want ot have the basic understanding of how it functions?

Example

A B C
1 ITEMS COST
2 Ham 2
3 Cheese 4
4 Eggs 6
5 Pork 5


Now if i want to lookup how much does ham costs?

the forumal wd be:
=VLOOKUP(Ham,A1:B5,2,FALSE)

I believ the formula is right , but i am confused in which cell do i need to
write it? If i write it in C2, it returns #NAME?.

Pls tell where do i need to write the formula?
