I find myself using VLOOKUP and SUMIF constantly, but I’m curious what functions you all rely on the most in your work. Any tips or hidden gems I might not be using?

Xlookup better than vlookup

like

This and only this. VLOOKUP is boomer/childs play.

FILTER, INDEX, MATCH, INDIRECT some of my favs

You can use xlookup in a way that's better than index match in my opinion.

like

Xlookup, filter, counta(unique())
Sort(unique()), lookup(find())

like

I’ve never tried Sort with Unique. Gonna try that today!

Xlookup and subtotal, the double click on format to paste a format multiple times, only copying the format once. lol and of course the “new window” especially when my raw data is on another tab (whomever here introduced me to that, I am forever in your debt)

I use vlookup and sumif the most not because they’re the best, but people will lesser excel knowledge can understand and replicate/review those more easily. I use match with mine, and that’s about the limit for reviewers.

like

Index Match, XLOOKUP, OFFSET

like

Index-Match, Xlookup, Offset.

personally use a lot of filter

Sumproduct ftw
