    Thanks for the video. A few comments: you can use CTRL + ~ to toggle show formulas on and off if you prefer keyboard vs the mouse click option. I would say that there is a level 6 or higher lookup formula that was not mentioned. Its a combination of indirect + index match. This lets you dynamically select the array in question as opposed to having to choose the array manually. The formula would look like index(indirect(concatenate("C", match(),":","C", match()), False),match(),match()). In this example, you can specify criteria by dynamically creating an array address and then looking up a value within that address based on separate criteria. It's definitely a complex scenario but I've come across this before and needed to break free from hard coding the initial array of the index.

    Hey a few things to try. Xlookup replaces ALL functions of Vlookup and IndexMatch and Hlookup, so if you are using any of these functions in any way Xlookup can do it. If you want to look up 2 values you need to use &. Example =XLOOKUP(lookup_value & lookup_value, lookup_array & lookup_array, return_array,””,0,1) this would be used for a vertical data set like in your example. You can also have 2 lookups used in a table format to return the cell in the table where the two cells meet at. =XLOOKUP(lookup_value1,AH3:AH13,XLOOKUP(lookup_value2,AI2:AM2,AI3:AM13,"",0,1),"",0,1) I left the cell references in, but you can get the picture. Also don’t forget about returning non adjacent rows =XLOOKUP(lookup_value2, lookup_array,INDEX(return_array,SEQUENCE(ROWS(return_array)),{1,3,4}),"",0,1) These are just a few examples of what you can do. Great video, but I have to admit that I was more then a little upset with the title of the video being “Make You a PRO User” and then not to learn anything new. I am an average excel user so ….😅

    Great video, thank you! I’m 57 and I used Lotus 1-2-3 on DOS where you had to tell it how many rows and columns you wanted. I’ve been using Microsoft Office since 1998 and the formulas and features that Excel has is always growing, but it continues to be glitchy. I have to use the Trim(Substitute formula to convert cells to where I can get rid of leading spaces and format them as currency or whatever I want. Your channel has great content but I’m pretty sure you’d get extra subs and a lot of views if you did a video on the 10 best Excel workarounds and how to auto save and find xlsb files that aren’t in Recover files. Those are the things that save time and frustration!
