<h1>HLOOKUP Function</h1>
<p>The <b>HLOOKUP</b> function is one of the lookup and reference functions. It is used to perform the horizontal search for a value in the top row of a table or an array and return the value in the same column based on a specified row index number.</p>
<p>The <b>HLOOKUP</b> function syntax is:</p>
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>HLOOKUP (lookup-value, table-array, row-index-num[, [range-lookup-flag]])</em></b></p>
<p><em>where</em></p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>lookup-value</em></b> is a value to search for.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>table-array</em></b> are two or more rows containing data sorted in ascending order.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>row-index-num</em></b> is a row number in the same column of the <b><em>table-array</em></b>, a numeric value greater than or equal to 1 but less than the number of rows in the <b>table-array</b>.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>range-lookup-flag</em></b> is an optional argument. It is a logical value: TRUE or FALSE. Enter FALSE to find an exact match. Enter TRUE to find an approximate match, in this case if there is not a value that strictly matches the <b><em>lookup-value</em></b>, then the function will choose the next largest value less than the <b><em>lookup-value</em></b>. If this argument is absent, the function will find an approximate match.</p>
<p class="note"><b>Note</b>: if the <b><em>range-lookup-flag</em></b> is set to FALSE, but no exact match is found, then the function will return the <b>#N/A</b> error.</p>
