Say goodbye to VLOOKUPs and hello to XLOOKUPs! In this article, we'll explore why XLOOKUP is the superior function and how it can help you streamline your FP&A analyses and get you promoted. Read on!
Really enjoyed this article! I've been using XLOOKUP for the past ~year as a replacement to VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP and found it to be so much better. Would really appreciate insight into how best to use the search and match modes, as I'm sure it takes the function to another level.
I have found XLOOKUP to be a quality replacement for VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP, but would hesitate as a replacement for Index + Match. Index + Match has a little more functionality in the sense that I can Match to the return array that I want (i.e. not only Match to the row I want returned, but also Match the title of a column that I want returned rather than manually changing which column I want returned which is required with XLOOKUP). I've found this functionality to be indispensable when creating my own data tables and XLOOKUP doesn't quite have the same functionality.
