XLOOKUP function
The XLOOKUP function in Excel is a powerful tool for searching within a range or array and returning the corresponding value from another column. It’s a modern replacement for older functions like VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, offering more flexibility and ease of use. Here’s a quick overview of its syntax and usage:
Use the XLOOKUP function to find things in a table or range by row. For example, look up the price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an employee name based on their employee ID. With XLOOKUP, you can look in one column for a search term and return a result from the same row in another column, regardless of which side the return column is on.
Syntax
The XLOOKUP function searches a range or an array, and then returns the item corresponding to the first match it finds. If no match exists, then XLOOKUP can return the closest (approximate) match.
=XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, [if_not_found], [match_mode], [search_mode])
