Question

which task is not possible with vlookup?
○ lookup values located in a different worksheet
○ lookup values located in a column to the right of the column that contains the lookup value
○ lookup values located in a column to the left of the column that contains the lookup value
○ lookup values such as text, numbers, or characters

Explanation:

VLOOKUP (Vertical Lookup) in Excel has a key limitation: it can only retrieve data from columns to the right of the lookup column. It can lookup values in different worksheets (by referencing the sheet), and can handle text, numbers, or characters. But it cannot lookup values in a column to the left of the lookup value column.

Answer:

lookup values located in a column to the left of the column that contains the lookup value
