Hi Team,

I want to use dictionary in place of vlookup. my data is Range("A1:c11"),
Expected output is in Column G. [Trying to learn and use dictionary]

=VLOOKUP(G3,$A$2:$C$11,3,0)
VBA Code:
Sub UseDictionary()
    ' Get the range of values
    Dim rg As Range
    Set rg = shData.Range("A1:C11")
    
    ' Create the dictionary
    Dim dict As Object
    Set dict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    
    ' Fill the dictionary
    Dim cell As Range
    For Each cell In rg
        dict(cell.Value) = cell.Offset(0, 2).Value
    Next
    
    Dim row As Long
    row = 1
'     Perform the Lookups
    For Each cell In rg
        Range("H" & row).Value = dict(cell.Value)
        row = row + 1
    Next

End Sub
