    I like all your lessons, even most of the time I already learned it before I play the videos, but I will still paying full attention on every things you teach me, and often repeatly watching your videos, because you always dive in every parts of your lesson very detail, let me found that I missed out a lot of easy functions which can let my job become much more easier and simple, really thanks for your tutorials, and thanks for teaching me all the skill and knowledge to strengthen my base in my programming studies, and I know all your students also loves the way you teaching and enjoy your lessons too, because the number of your students keep increasing time by time, keep up your good work, and I will always keep watching your tutorials for revisions...
    Little comment for you regarding the tutorial of this video: If there are multiple matches, I think it will be easier by using the filter function instead of vlookup function, and the solution will be
    Southern | =TEXTJOIN(“”, TRUE, FILTER(D:D, B:B=F7))

    • @ExcelGoogleSheets

    Awesome video! perfect example. I have one question, though. Let's say for example 'Southern' and 'Paul Patrick are listed twice in multiple rows. The result would show 'Paul Patrick' as many times it appears in Column D, where Column B='Southern'. How to avoid this duplicate result and show 'Paul Patrick' only once in G7?

    Hi I have only one question.
    I used "arrayformula function" to auto-fill values from second row to end row.
    If I don't want to drag down the "G7" function, How can i?
    e.g)
    region | Sales Rep
    Southern | =arrayformula(~~~~~)
    Midwestern | auto-fill result
    + how can i textjoin using "
    " in this case?

      TEXTJOIN function doesn't show up in autocomplete as you type it, but if you just type it, it works. Keep in mind that if you just need a VLOOKUP type of function that returns multiple options, you may want to look at QUERY function instead. You may see how it works in this video ua-cam.com/video/s9wA48Oaaog/v-deo.html

    Hi! Just want to know on how I could do the same thing but the lookup value is a wildcard. I know wildcard cannot be used for if function. However, I am working on a report wherein I need to get all apps with No access status for a specific person. Tricky part is "no access" has ticket number next to it like "no access INC123". I tried doing Search and LEN function but it's not working. Or maybe I'm not doing it right. Many thanks!

      @@ExcelGoogleSheets My intention isn't to shout “Hey, I've a better solution”; I take it for granted that each example is aimed at building a certain skill. Putting aside the question whether the FILTER function was even available when the video was published, I assume there _are_ situations where there's a need for that particular skill over solving the _example task_ using a different method. My intention is to understand which scenarios these may be.

      That's not what I thought. One of the downsides of making about 400 videos on this channel is that I don't remember what I did in most of them. The only way to find out if one way is more efficient than the other is to do some tests. Doing tests in Excel you can calculate the time it takes to do the calculation and see if there is any advantage.Unfortunately, this type of tests in Google Sheets rarely bare any noticeable results since there are variables like internet connection, browser, order of calculations etc. So I would say stick with FILTER option.
