The XLOOKUP function in Excel is a powerful and versatile tool for searching a
range, returning corresponding values, and handling various lookup scenarios.

• XLOOKUP Function Syntax

• Arguments

a) lookup_value: The value you want to find in the lookup_array.

b) lookup_array: The range of cells containing possible lookup values.

c) return_array: The range of cells containing the values to be returned.

d) [if_not_found]: Optional. Specifies the value to return if the


lookup_value is not found. If omitted, #N/A is returned.

e) [match_mode]: Optional. Specifies the type of match: 0 for an exact


match, -1 for less than, and 1 for greater than.

f) [search_mode]: Optional. Specifies the search mode: 1 for first to


last, 2 for last to first, and 3 for a binary search.

• Examples

1. Basic XLOOKUP

Searches for lookup_value in the range A2:A10 and returns


the corresponding value from B2:B10.

• Examples

2. Handling not found

Returns "Not Found" if the lookup_value is not found in the


specified range.

3. Approximate Match

Performs an exact match lookup. Use 1 for greater than


or -1 for less than.

4. Reverse Lookup

Searches for lookup_value in the range B2:B10 and returns


the corresponding value from A2:A10.

5. Handling Errors

Uses IFERROR to handle errors and return a custom message


for not found values.

6. Binary Search

Performs a binary search for faster results (requires sorted data).

• Tips

1. Wildcard Characters:

• Use wildcard characters like * and ? in lookup_value


for partial matches.

2. Array Mode:

• XLOOKUP supports array mode, allowing you to


handle multiple lookup values at once.

3. Dynamic Arrays:

• XLOOKUP automatically spills results into adjacent


cells for dynamic array functionality.

4. Error Handling:

• Use IFERROR or other error-handling functions to


manage situations where values are not found.
