For example, you can use HLOOKUP with the asterisk wildcard character to retrieve the first text value in a cell range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> In Excel, the asterisk (*) wildcard character stands in for any number of characters in a text string.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explanation of HLOOKUP Function<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The HLOOKUP function searches for a value in the top row of a table or range of cells and returns a corresponding value from a specified row. The &#8220;H&#8221; in HLOOKUP stands for &#8220;horizontal&#8221; because it searches horizontally across rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The syntax for the HLOOKUP function is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup])<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what each argument means:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>lookup_value<\/strong> This is the value you want to find in the top row of the table. It can be a number, text, logical value, or cell reference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>table_array<\/strong> This is the range of cells that contains the data you want to search. It should include both the lookup value and the values to be returned. The table_array must have at least two rows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>row_index_num<\/strong> This is the row number in the table_array from which you want to retrieve the value. The first row in the table_array is considered row number 1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>range_lookup<\/strong> This is an optional argument that specifies whether you want an exact or approximate match. If set to `TRUE` or omitted, HLOOKUP will try to find an approximate match and return the closest value that is less than or equal to the lookup value. If set to `FALSE,` HLOOKUP will only find an exact match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are three examples of using HLOOKUP in Excel to retrieve text values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example #1: Use HLOOKUP to Retrieve the FirstText Value in a Cell Range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the dataset below, which displays the sales figures for different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-spreadsheet-description-automat-13.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of a spreadsheet\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-16089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-spreadsheet-description-automat-13.png 560w, https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-spreadsheet-description-automat-13-300x96.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We aim to use HLOOKUP to fetch the initial region listed in row 1 and display it in cell C7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We use the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Select cell C7 and type in the following formula:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>=HLOOKUP(\"*\",B1:F1,1,FALSE)<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"559\" height=\"208\" src=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica-7.png\" alt=\"A screenshot of a computer\n\nDescription automatically generated\" class=\"wp-image-16090\" srcset=\"https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica-7.png 559w, https:\/\/officetuts.net\/excel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/07\/a-screenshot-of-a-computer-description-automatica-7-300x112.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 559px) 100vw, 559px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Press Enter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The first region listed in row 1, which is &#8220;Europe,&#8221;
