There’s only one right answer -> index match

likesmart

If you decide to use =FILTER(), you'd need a =FILTER(FILTER()), which is significantly more inefficient vs using index match & =FILTER()

My point is not that it is impossible to do so, but that it is worse - both computationally, but also when auditing

P.s.: using =AVERAGE() and =FILTER() does not satisfy the requirement of using =XLOOKUP() - since we are arguing index match vs =XLOOKUP()

Never vlookup

I think it depends, if it's relatively quick and simple, vlookup. Otherwise xloolup as I think I read there are some performance benefits (could be wrong)

Index Match all the way. Never went back to Vlookup. Saved so much time not prepping the file.

I prefer xlookup over vlookup, but I also don’t use index match so no clue about what everyone above is taking about.

Depends but typically xlookup for me

Always xlookup. Index-match is also acceptable.

Xlookup for me. Simple, fast, easy to notate where no match is found.

I’m helping my GF with excel and need help lol. She works at a hospital and is trying to make an excel schedule for doctors to reserve rooms. She wants drop downs for days of the week (column K) and also different drop down menus in column P for the reserved time slots.

Is it possible to do this with two sets of drop downs (days of week + time slots) and not use index match here? She could make 5 tables for each day of the week, but prefers one table that can be easily navigated by doctors.
