XLOOKUP is a function in Microsoft Excel that allows you to search a range of cells for a specific value and return a corresponding value from another range of cells. It is similar to the VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP functions, but offers more flexibility and power.
With XLOOKUP, you can:
- Search for a value in a column or row and return a corresponding value from another column or row
- Perform approximate matches (similar to the VLOOKUP function) or exact matches (similar to the INDEX and MATCH functions)
- Return multiple results from a single lookup, using the optional “return array” argument
- Handle errors and missing values more gracefully than with other lookup functions
XLOOKUP is a versatile and powerful tool that can simplify many data analysis and management tasks in Excel.
