In this tutorial, I will walk you through how to replace the Excel VlookUp in Python by using Pandas. The Excel VlookUp is one of the most often & useful formulas. However, on larger datasets, a VlookUp might slow down the Excel Workbook. Also, Python opens the door to entirely automate Excel processes including VlookUps.

Great work man! I was stumped on a script I was writing for work but finally stumbled on this video. Thanks again!

[blushandrush]

excellent explanation of the merge function! This will be my go-to video whenever I forget how this function works! ;)

Your channel rocks! Thanks for the videos about xl and py

Excellent explanation of left/right/inner/outer join!

[SMCGPRA]

This is the cleanest explanation on python pandas excel

❤. I love this video and the concepts you covered.

I cannot tell you how many Vlookups and more recently Xlookups I have done in my life.

Python seems to be extremely powerful but not complicated to learn. I really need to get started with it.

Great content. Super easy explanations

thank you very very much and i appreciate your effort ♥

Hi thanks for the tutorial. Actually the "keys" that I've to compare for vlookup are on the same sheet and not on different sheets like orders and returns in your example. How do I proceed to automate vlookup in such case?

[ermalgashimramori]

Big help, I can honestly say your explanation sheds more light. Is there a possibility of covering Sumif, Sumifs, Countif, Countifs. Anyway, thank you very much.

Hi, I need to merge oldxl data and new xldata, label column is same in both xls
I need to do outer join.
If label value is same in both xls it should keep the row of new xl
Can you pls help in this.
Thank you

Good job ! vlookup extract single columns from matching data, what if I want to extract 3 columns from lookup table !

[vidhyasubramaniam]

I have a base sheet of excel and another one from which I need 2 to 3 column data to be brought into the base sheet. Normally vlookup takes enormous amount of time as the base has thousands of rows. How do i code in python

[Perspicacious_pi]

Awesome video python/pandas merge is the way forward. Wondering if there's an equivalent way to do the same with VBA code? I haven't come across a method yet

[mikekaspari]

Great Video. It is possible to load more than one excel file per glob then merge the files?

[fivestarmichelin]

Can you share the excel file you used in the video? It'll be great if we're all on the same page, thanks.

[gussta]

Is there a way to do the merge without bringing in all the data, meaning if you just want to bring over one column that matches and not all of them

hi, how can i do vlookup if I have more than one data's
