Most tables (especially in accounting and finance) are organized in a vertical format with the lookup value in the first column and the results in subsequent columns. VLOOKUP is designed to search for a value in the first column of a table and return a corresponding value in the same row from a specified column of the table. This makes it a natural and preferred choice for vertical table formats.
