Xlookup is amazing, only recently learnt it, totally replaced Vlookup as you don’t need the columns in a certain order, or need to count them.

Xlookup is not at all bad to learn either

XLookup is way better than VLookup, I would recommend reading some online guides and watching YouTube videos

It’s easy and kinda fun 🙂

=vlookup(Thing, Dataset, Column, Exact Match?)

Dear Excel. Please find this Thing, within that Dataset. Find me only Exact Matches (in the alternate, matches that are close enough). Then return the value (2) columns to the right (i.e. in the third column).

=vlookup(A1, Table1, 3, True)

Make sure the Thing is always to be found in the leftmost column.

Please start using X-lookup instead. It has more functions and is faster than v-lookup

Hi! You can have a look at the Microsoft tutorial (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vlookup-function-0bbc8083-26fe-4963-8ab8-93a18ad188a1). I think it's well written to for a know how.

Index match is less likely to break if someone takes your file and sorts it or reorders any columns. If not, xLookup next best, still better than vLookup

Are there any good websites to learn/practice and test your knowledge on excel?
