I guess every Excel user knows what function performs a vertical lookup in Excel. Right, it's VLOOKUP. However, very few people are aware that Excel's VLOOKUP is case-insensitive, meaning it treats lowercase and UPPERCASE letters as the same characters.

Is VLOOKUP format sensitive?

By default, the lookup value in the VLOOKUP function is not case sensitive. For example, if your lookup value is MATT, matt, or Matt, it's all the same for the VLOOKUP function. It'll return the first matching value irrespective of the case.

How do I ignore case sensitive in VLOOKUP?

Lookup case insensitive with VLOOKUP formula

To VLOOKUP a value based on another value case insensitive, you just need one VLOOKUP formula. Select a blank cell which will place the found value, and type this formula =VLOOKUP(F1,$A$2:$C$7,3,FALSE) into it, and press Enter key to get the first matched data.
