Lets have an example of the problem I am facing - 
Sheet 1 
Name         Amount
Rahul          23324
Ram            45432
Shyam        23232
Kartik          56342
Nikhil          21233
Ankit           45432
Lucky          56342                  
Harsh          54354
Vinay          29789
Rajesh        32322

Sheet 2
Amount       PAN                
23324         weewewwer
45432         wefewfgw
23232         svfrewfewre
56342         fwrffdwww
21233         wefewfggww
45432         werfewfefc
56342         iuliejfhefjw
54354         fewklewjflehf
29789         wefjefhdcjww
32322         wefouwefiou

Now if we apply Vlookup in sheet 2 
For the 2nd amount of 45432 and 56342, the ans. shall be ram & kartik. 
Is there some way to solve the problem.

Also please tell me the function of "Range lookup" in the vlookup function.

Dear Karthik,

You can use the below function to lookup the right side items using vlookup. However, you have a choice of using Index & match.

=VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},Sheet1!$B$2:$B$11,Sheet1!$A$2:$A$11),2,0)

Please find the attached excel format and download with the same example

Thanks

Regards,
Saran
