There is no direct vlookup function in SQL server, but to be honest, vlookup is a difficult way to do it anyway.

If you use the examples in this vlookup page:http://www.techonthenet.com/excel/formulas/vlookup.php[^]

Then the SQL equivalent would be:

SQL

SELECT Product FROM pvtTable WHERE OrderID=10251

SQL

SELECT UnitPrice FROM pvtTable WHERE OrderID=10251

SQL

SELECT Product FROM pvtTable WHERE OrderID=10248

The final one would return no records.
