It's time to explore an underutilized yet powerful formula: the DGET function. Perfect for solving complex LOOKUP problems that VLOOKUP can't handle, DGET allows for searching based on multiple conditions and looking up values to the left of the LOOKUP range.
⬇️ DOWNLOAD the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/dget-file
✨ Key Highlights:
▪️ Solving Multiple Condition Lookups: Learn how DGET overcomes VLOOKUP limitations by enabling searches based on multiple criteria.
▪️ Left Lookups: Discover how to use DGET for retrieving values to the left of the LOOKUP range, a task challenging for traditional LOOKUP functions.
▪️ Practical Examples: Follow real-world scenarios to understand how to implement DGET in various situations, like finding division and department names based on specific criteria.
▪️ Dynamic and Flexible Filtering: See how DGET can dynamically filter data and adapt to approximate matches for versatile data analysis.
▪️ Understanding Limitations: Get to know the potential drawbacks of DGET, such as handling duplicates and limitations in applying the formula to multiple cells.
Excel DGET Function is one of Excel's "forgotten" database functions that can do a Left lookup (unlike VLOOKUP) and ALSO easily look for multiple criteria.
One limitation of DGET is that you can't apply it to multiple cells. Basically you can't pull down the formula to lookup different values. If that's something you need, then you'll need to use INDEX MATCH, VLOOKUP, Excel FILTER function or FILTER feature or XLOOKUP. Check out the links under Related Videos below to find these videos.
00:00 Excel DGET Function
01:44 Excel DGET Explained
06:03 DGET With Approximate Match
06:28 DGET With OR & AND Conditions
08:18 DGET With Multiple Criteria
Excel DGET disadvantages:
1. DGET formula can't be pulled down - you'll need to include the header for each lookup value
2. DGET returns an error (#Num error - 7:25) if there are duplicate lookup values in the range (as opposed to VLOOKUP or Index & Match which return the first match).

As always a very useful and cristal clear video, many thanks ! Another option for multiple criteria is to use Xlookup with concatenate criteria and lookup on concatenate columns. It works well but request more memory to calculate the results (particularly when calculating on a big dataset)

Nice addition for the index and match combo funtion is that match() works for multiple matche per row too. You could youse the multiple matches like (A1="x")*(B1="x") etc. Excel could take up some long processing time with large tables though. Mine took around 30 to 40 minutes for a table with 7000 rows and 3 matches acros.

This is great function! Thanks for showing it to us Leila! I will no longer need to count columns for Vlookup in my files with 200 columns! I use Index-Match often to avoid it, and Dget seems to be even more elegant solution for many situations.

@TheTuTuTurtle 3 жыл бұрын

problem is you can only lookup 1 row with DGET, so you will still have to use index match

@AtanasNenov 2 жыл бұрын

You don't need to count columns for vlookup. It shows the current column count in the tooltip at the lower right part of your selection.

Leila, I appreciate your informative videos, but I am having limited success using DGET() to fetch a single value within a table based on two values in the same table from another sheet. Essentially, only the first one works because the heading is on row 1 and the criteria is on row 2, but when I try to "knit" together a range that assembles the heading on row 1 with the values on row 3, it fails to fetch the value from the other sheet. Any thoughts on that one? Thanks!

Thank you for the great function. just to make something right. I have tried using the function with a table instead of range selection and it is not working. the reason that I figured out is that typing the table name makes it selected without the headers. in order to use it as a full table, you need to refer it as =DGET(Table1[#All],1,J4:J5)

Your teaching of excel is really lovely and impacting. Please I want you to produce a video that will teach how to prepare school time table that will be high flexible. With the following features: 1. A teacher possibly taking more than 1 subject. 2. A class possibly having 2 subjects at the same periods. 3. Each subject having its own no of periods per week. 4. Possibility of science subjects in science laboratory, with consideration that two/three classes may be sharing the same laboratory. And other possible features. I will appreciate it if you can work on it. Thanks.
