10 Excel XLOOKUP Function Examples (Better than VLOOKUP & INDEX/MATCH)

In this video, I will show you what is the new XLOOKUP function and 10 XLOOKUP examples.
Get Office 365 - microsoft.msafflnk.net/Vk9OR
Note that this function is only available in Office 365 (Home, Personal and University edition) at the time of recording this video. It will likely be made available to all Office 365 users.
Download the Example file: bit.ly/2tyQw7I
The following XLOOKUP examples are covered in this video:
1. SIMPLE LOOKUP (Lookup and fetch a value): In this example, I will show you how to use XLOOKUP to look for value and fetch it. It can fetch the value from the right or the left of the lookup value (something VLOOKUP isn't made to it)
2. LOOKUP AND FETCH THE ENTIRE RECORD: XLOOKUP can be used to look for value and fetch the entire record (entire row or column) from the return_array
3. TWO WAY LOOKUP: You can use two XLOOKUP functions together to get the two-way lookup (i.e, look for a value that meets two lookup criteria)
4. ERROR HANDLING IN XLOOKUP: Error handling in in-built in XLOOKUP and there is a dedicated argument where you can specify what you want in case there is an error. This could be a value, a cell reference or another formula. This a major improvement over using the VLOOKUP and IFERROR combination in the past
5. NESTED XLOOKUP: You can nest multiple XLOOKUP functions together to do a multi-level lookup. For example, you can look through multiple tables (in the same or separate worksheet) and fetch the value.
6. FIND THE LAST MATCHING VALUE: Again something that has been baked into XLOOKUP. You can choose the direction of the lookup. So you can fetch the first matching value or the last matching value
7. APPROXIMATE MATCH: There is also the approximate match where you can choose where you want the values just smaller/larger than the lookup value
8. HORIZONTAL LOOKUP: With XLOOKUP, you can do vertical lookup as well as horizontal lookup
9. CONDITIONAL LOOKUP: You can combine XLOOKUP with other formulas to do a conditional lookup. For example, if you want to look up what person has the maximum salary, you can do that easily using XLOOKUP with MAX.
10. WILDCARD LOOKUP: XLOOKUP can handle wildcard characters, but you need to specify that you will be using these. This example shows how to can do a partial lookup with wildcards.

    OMG.. You made my work a breeze. I had wanted to find a formula which would return the most recent instance of lookup value and couldn't find any video which explained it. Thought would have to sort all my data in descending order to get it but that would mean sorting each time I added to the table 😅. This video gave me exactly what I wanted without messing with the order. Thank you so very much!!

    Got a question. What if I wanted to search for a value in multiple non continuous columns and return they adjacent cell. For example, look up a value in a1 and look up array in b1 to b5 and return c1 to c5 but also do the same for a second lookup array in e1 to e5 with return f1 to f5. So if value from a1 is found in b OR e it will return whats in c or f. Hope that makes sense.

Like if I am in one sheet and want to return the second column (2) from another sheet (sheet!B:B)? I want column B:B from the second sheet being linked to a number, so became dinamic? Is it possible?

    What about when looking up a record that has multiple entries? - For example, what if there were three Greg names in the file, and you wanted to see all three, but still only show 1 name if there were 1 Amy match, or 2 names if there were two Stan matches?

    I really enjoyed your video. I have been working on a menu planning project and have run into a brick wall. In your video on XLOOKUP, you mentioned that a single search can return multiple records. I'm trying to do just that.Can a single drop down item return several items from other data sets? Example: In a Breakfast category selecting "Breakfast Burritos" I would need to return its ingredients from three data sets into cells: items from a Protein data set, items from a Carbs data set and items from a Fats data set. Using the Burrito example, Eggs would be pulled from the Protein set, Wheat Tortilla from the Carbs set and, Sausage and Cheese from the Fats set and all placed in specifically selected cells. Other drop down selections would pull their ingredients from the appropriate lists. Thank you.
