Great video!! Still VLOOKUP is versatile when it comes to column indexes. For example, in "XLOOKUP (table)" spreadsheet, if we set in the range C5:F5 : Name, Start date, Salary, Department, to extract the values corresponding to those columns we can use in C7: =VLOOKUP(C6,staff,XMATCH(C5:F5,staff[#Headers])) or =VLOOKUP(C6,staff,{2,6,5,4})

That is a GREAT tip... Donut for you Exceλambda 🍩 I normally don't mind breaking such lookups in to separate formulas. If I am trying to combine two tables, I always try the "table relationships" or "power query" first before even considering any lookups.

@sandeeepkiran1130 2 жыл бұрын

What if the date has 2 employees joined. Will xlookup show both? Or just the first one?

@chandoo_ 2 жыл бұрын

Just the first one. You need to use FILTER or something else to get all matches. See this video - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8dnqJOkuq-xXXU.html

@@sandeeepkiran1130 Hi, like Chandoo said, we can use FILTER, do this little experiment, set these values in the following ranges: A1:A6 B1:B6 D1:D2 a 1 b b 2 c b 3 c 4 c 5 d 6 Lookup vector (lv) D1:D2, lookup array (la) A1:A6 (has dups) , return array (ra) B1:B6 (can be any array with more than 1 clm) - formula similar to xlookup functionality in B8 or anywhere: =FILTER(B1:B6,ISNUMBER(XMATCH(A1:A6,D1:D2))) - or define a lambda that does the lookup: Duplicate Xlookup: DXL(lv,la,ra) =LAMBDA(lv,la,ra,FILTER(ra,ISNUMBER(XMATCH(la,lv)))) -call =DXL(D1:D2,A1:A6,B1:B6) Both, formula and function will extract the corresponding sections of "ra" for all matches with duplicates or not. Hope that helps.✌😉

@Excelambda 2 жыл бұрын

No need to say that this concept works also for arrays oriented horizontally. The only rule, since we use also XMATCH in the construction, both lookup vector and lookup array (lv and la) should be 1D arrays, no matter if they are horiz or vert.

Thank you for this explanation. I have another scenario that I would like some clarification on.

E-mail adress 1 has pizza, potatoes, E-mail address 2 has pasta and E-mail 3 has pasta, potatoes. I would now like to make 3 additional separate columns Pizza and Pasta and Potatoes with in these columns the ' lookedup ' e-mail addresses. In the colunm name Pizza, only e-mail addres 1 would be mentioned. In Column Potatoes, E-mail 1 and E-mail 3 would be shown and so on. How to go about? Can this be done with XLOOKUP? Or is some other formula needed? Thank you for your reply!

It would be nice if there was a “match formatting indicator” in the formula to match the formatting from where our result derives so that you don’t have to correct the formatting in your formula result. So if the formatting in the result column was a date or currency, a match formatting indicator would automatically ensure that your result matched the formatting of the column from where the result derived. This would be nice because almost nobody would want a date answer returned in a Juliane date or currency returned without commas.

Hi Chandoo, thank you for this!! XLOOKUP is a game changer. Just one issue- I just used it to return a date on the cell. However, the source data for that particular lookup value is blank. But the XLOOKUP returns 1/0/1900. Can you share how I can have the cell come out as blank if the source data is blank?

@chandoo_ Жыл бұрын

You are welcome Judith. Excel doesn't have true BLANK values. When a formula finds blank, it returns 0. Which for dates, treated as 1/0/1900. You can try ISBLANK(XLOOKUP(..)) to check if the result of XLOOKUP is indeed blank and then do something. Another technique is to use File > Options > Advanced > "Display options for this worksheet" > Show a zero in cells that have zero value and unchecking it. But it will also remove any actual zeros from the screen.

Chando hi, good presentation. We can use Vlookup with different directions by using Choose function like =Vlookup(X,A1:C100,Choose({2,1},Array-1,Array-2),0). It provide us to go opposite direction like XLookUp. However, when we change column sequence or not sorted range, VLookUp is not giving us the correct result. So, I would like to learn just LookUp function because it is being used to find different matches as same value. How can we achieve it? Could you please prepare LookUp video for it. Thank you 🙏
