Usage notes XLOOKUP is a modem replacement for the VLOOKUP function. It is a flexible and versatile lookup function that can be used in a wide variety of situations. XLOOKUP can find values in vertical or horizontal ranges, can perform approximate and exact matches, and supports wildcards (* ?) for partial matches. In addition, XLOOKUP can search data sta type and search mode details below). Compared to older functions like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, and LOOKUP, XLOOKUP offers several key advantages. ting from the first value or the last value (see match Not found message ntpsufexcelet neviexce Hunctions/excel-xlookup function 2128ieai2020 How to use the Excel XLOOKUP function | Excajet When XLOOKUP can't find a match, it returns the #N/A error, like other match functions in Excel. Unlike the other match functions, XLOOKUP supports an optional argument called not_found that can be used to overide the #N/A error when it would otherwise appear. Typical values for not_found might be "Not found’, "No match”, "N result’, etc. When providing a value for not_found, enclose the text in double quotes Note: Be careful if you supply an empty string ("") for not found. If no match is found, XLOOKUP will display nothing instead of #N/A. If you want to see the #N/A error when a match isn't found, omit the argument entirely. Match type By default, XLOOKUP will perform an exact match. Match behavior is controlled by an optional argument called match_type, which has the following options: Match type Behavior 0 (default) Exact match. Will return #N/A if no match. -1 Exact match or next smaller item. 1 Exact match or next larger item. 2 Wildcard match (*, ?, ~) Search mode By default, XLOOKUP will start matching from the first data value. Search behavior is controlled by an optional argument called search_mode, which provides the following options: Search mode Behavior 1 default) Search from first value aT Search from last value (reverse) 2 Binary search values sorted in ascending order -2 Binary search values sorted in descending order hitpsslexceljt netlexcelfunctionsiexcelxlookup-functon 3128zasianee How toute the Excl LOOKUP fron | Exclt Binary searches are very fast, but data must be sorted as required. If data is not sorted properly, a binary search can return invalid results that look perfectly normal. Example #1 - basic exact match By default, XLOOKUP will perform an exact match. In the example below, XLOOKUP is used to retrieve Sales based on an exact match on Movie. The formula in H5 is: = XLOOKUP(H4,B5:B9,E5:E9) HS . fe | =XLOOKUP(H4,B5:89,£5:69) A B c jp E F 6 H fl 2 XLOOKUP - basic exact match 3 4 Movie Year Rank Sales Movie Toy Stor s| Fargo 1996 5 | $61m Sales $362 6 LA.

Example #2 - basic approximate match To enable an approximate match, provide a value for the "match_mode" argument. In the example below, XLOOKUP is used to calculate a discount based on quantity, which requires an approximate match. The formula in FS supplies -1 for match_mode to enable approximate match with “exact match or next smallest” behavior: = XLOOKUP(E5,B5:B9,C5:C9,, - 1) ntpsufexcelet neviexce Hunctions/excel-xlookup function 41282812020 How to use the Excel XLOOKUP function | Excajet Fs > fe | =XLOOKUP(ES,B5:89,C5:C9,,-1) A B ce |b E F 6 1 2 XLOOKUP basic approximate match 3 4 Quantity Discount Quantity Result 5 o 0% 28] 6 10 5% i 25 10% 8 50 20% 9 100 25% More detailed explanation here. Example #3 - multiple values XLOOKUP can return more than one value at the same time for the same match. The example below shows how XLOOKUP can be configured to return three matchging values with a single formula. The formula in C5 is: = XLOOKUP (BS, B8:B15,C8:E15) =XLOOKUP(B5,88:815,C8:E15) E | oF G Department Fulfillment cS . & A |B eC D 1 2 XLOOKUP - multiple values 3 4 1D First Last 5 841[Evelyn TMonet 6 7 ID First Last 8 610 Janet Farley 9 798 Steven Batista 10 841 Evelyn Monet 1 886 Marilyn _ Bradley 2 622 Jonathan _ Adder 1B 601 Adrian 14 869 Julie 15 867 Erica Tan 16 ntpsufexcelet neviexce Hunctions/excel-xlookup function Department Fulfillment Sales Fulfillment Fulfillment Marketing Engineering Sales | Fulfillment 51282reai2020 How to use the Exeal XLOOKUP function | Excaliat Notice the return array (C8:E15) includes 3 columns: First, Last, Department. All three values are returned and spill into the range C5:ES. Example #4 - two-way lookup XLOOKUP can be used to perform a two-way lookup, by nesting one XLOOKUP inside another. In the example below, the "inner" XLOOKUP retrieves an entire row (all values for Glass), which is handed off to the “outer” XLOOKUP as the return array. The outer XLOOKUP finds the appropriate group (B) and returns the corresponding value (17.25) as the final result. = XLOOKUP (16, C4: F4, XLOOKUP(I5,B5:B9,C5:F9)) 7 . =XLOOKUP(I6,C4:F4, XLOOKUP(I5,85:89,C5:F3)) A B | c | bD —e | FG H 1 J sf 2 XLOOKUP two-way lookup 2 a| A B c D 5 Vinyl 10.00 11.50 13.23 15.21 Material Glass 6 Wood 12.00 13.80 15.87 18.25 Group B 7 Glass 15.00 17.25 19.84 22.81 Result 17.25] 8 Steel 18.00 20.70 23.81 27.38, = Titanium 23.00, 26.45 30.42 34.98, 10 1 More details here. Example #5 - not found message Like other lookup functions, if XLOOKUP does not find a value, it returns the #N/A error. To display a custom message instead of #N/A, provide a value for the optional “not found’ argument, enclosed in double quotes ( found" when no matching movie is found, based on the worksheet below, use: ). For example, to display "Not = XLOOKUP(H4,B5:B9,£5:E9,"Not found”) ntpsufexcelet neviexce Hunctions/excel-xlookup function 61282812020 How to use the Excel XLOOKUP function | Excajet HS .

Example #6 - complex criteria With the ability to handle arrays natively, XLOOKUP can be used with complex criteria. In the example below, XLOOKUP is matching the first record where: account begins with "x’ and region is "east" and month is not April: = XLOOKUP(1, (LEFT(B5:B16) = "x") * "east") * NOT(MONTH(D5:D16) = 4),B5:£16) 6s ’ Je | =XLOOKUP(1,(LEFT(B5:816)="*")*(C5:C16="east")*NOT(MONTH(D5:016) A 8 ic D G Le 6 # I i eae 1 2 XLOOKUP with complex multiple criteria 3 4 ‘Account Region Date Amount ‘Account 5 3000-150 West 11-Apr-20 24,0001 [3000-050 6 7300-050 West 14-Apr-20 21,750 7 1020-030 East 20-Apr-20 11,250 8 |= x3000-050 East 11-May-20 4,500 9 3000-150 East 25-May-20 12,750 10 7020-025 West SJun-20 7,500 Details: (1) simple example, (2) more complex example.

XLOOKUP can work with both vertical and horizontal arrays. 2, XLOOKUP will retum #N/A if the lookup value is not found. 3. The lookup_array must have a dimension compatible with the return_array argument, otherwise XLOOKUP will return #VALUE! 4, If XLOOKUP is used between workbooks, both workbooks must be open, otherwise XLOOKUP will return #REF!. 5.
