Default will VLookup peek over it's shoulder?

Say I have 8 columns, A thru H
the lookup table is column C
Can Vlookup find the match in C3501, and report the
resultant number residing in B3501?

....or do I cut and paste column c to column a?
which would be a pain in the botty.

Thanks

You can use =index(match())

See Debra Dalgleish's site for lots of instructions:

No. VLOOKUP does not look left. Per Dave's suggestion, Index/Match can do
the trick.
