    Thank you very much for this tutorial video. I have since replaced the Vlookup function with DGet. DGet is far more flexible than Vlookup where it can look both right and left of the column records and easier to understand. It is as powerful as Vlookup. Thanks again for doing this tutorial video.

    Not defending vlookup as i find database functions really useful but you can also create an array for the range you’re looking for in vlookup which would allow you to search for value on the left hand side.

    • @EriIaz
      @EriIaz 4 місяці тому

      Probably two years overdue, but yes, you can use IMPORTRANGE as the dataset for DGET function.
      It actually doesn't care how you get the dataset, any array would do. For instance, you can nest DGET on top of QUERY with IMPORTRANGE within in order to output one result based on multiple criteria in another table and error out when there are multiple matches. That won't be robust: DGET might error out before QUERY+IMPORTRANGE complete their task, but it's possible, and in some situations might work.
      However, keep in mind this is very costly in terms of performance. If you have the need to fill a lot of data, and especially when that happens on multiple sheets, I'd suggest making a receiving sheet for that and refer to it instead of using IMPORTRANGE directly, because each sheet imports ranges independently from the other.

      Depends on data. The reason VLOOKUP is likely to be faster is because it will search until it finds the first match and it will stop. DGET will always search the whole dataset.
