vlookup

[Andreas J Guelzow <aguelzow@math.concordia.ab.ca>]

The OpenFormula draft says:


VLOOKUP
Summary: Look for a matching value in the first column of the given
table, and return the value of the indicated column.

What does "the value of the indicated column" mean? 

Excel and Gnumeric are returning 0 if the cell in the indicated column
is empty.  
OOo appears to return the empty string.
