 HLOOKUP

o Similar to VLOOKUP but searches horizontally.


o Limited to horizontal searches and can only search top to bottom.
 XLOOKUP
o More flexible, can search in both vertical and horizontal ranges.
o Can search in either direction and provides more robust error handling.
o Replaces both VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP with enhanced functionality.
Importance and Uses:
 Data Retrieval: Efficient for retrieving data from large datasets.
 Error Handling: The if_not_found parameter allows for graceful error handling.
