    @ComboJoe84 2 роки тому +77

    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.

    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!

    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!!! The tips will make my life so much easier. 2 questions: 1) in the Revenue by State and Year I formatted the state and year as data validation lists so I could easily change either of the them (or both) and it seemed to still give me the correct Revenue amount. Is there a reason this would not be good practice? 2) When we used the Xlookup for the Product Arrival Date we returned one product (Dasani Water) for 5/16/22 but there were in fact 3 products with that same arrival date. How can you be sure you are returning ALL products arriving on that date? Thank you so much, I will continue to watch ever video you make.

    On your first example of IF function where you compare two values... you can just also use the "CELL=CELL" ex: =C2=C19 then it will put a result indicating TRUE if the values are the same or FALSE if it is NOT... Then on the finding the link of the FORMULA created.. you can also doble-click on cell with formula in it and it will highlight all the included cell in that FORMULA.

    an alternative to the index match is SUMIFS. it can take different conditions from different columns, and since conditions are generally unique, it will sum only 1 value i.e, it will just return that value.
    if multiple conditions are to be selected from the same column, one can do a SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS
