XLOOKUP is where it’s at.
I’ve been a loyal adherent of the great INDEX(MATCH) for years, but I will have to look at this XLOOKUP deity to see if I should convert.
FILTER is another of the more recent excel functions that is also really awesome
I use FILTER and XLOOKUP on the daily
I know that XLOOKUP is probably better, but I just like my lil INDEX(MATCH) for some reason. You couldn’t pay me to convert (you probably could)
Sad, that’s what they taught us in college ~2017 but XLOOKUP is just that but better and less typing
INDEX(MATCH)
It’s clunky but the best without bricking older Excel users
Fuck yeah it is. Even better than the tried and tested INDEX MATCH combo
I only recently discovered this function, and it’s been a lifesaver. I work in construction, going through big tables that outline all the doors in the project, and every once in awhile they put out an addendum that completely changes the order all the doors are listed in, adding new ones and changing bits and pieces along the way. It used to take me hours or even days of sorting to salvage the work I put in, getting it reorganized to fit the new table in the crappy construction spreadsheet program we have. Now I can just copy everything to excel, use vlookup, and reorder all my data to the new table in minutes!
I don’t understand letting a dealership put an advertisement around your plate. A dealership tried to do that to my car when I brought it in for service. I made them take it off.
Flip it - put the trim piece behind your plate. Reduces some of the rattling and removes the sharp edge while also doing its job and keeping plastic out of a landfill
I definitely took it off when I moved and got new plates. Otherwise, I felt similarly but was too lazy to do it myself.
Index Match is superior in every way tho
And XLOOKUP is actually superior to INDEX MATCH. It even has an ERRORIF function baked into it! 😱
Dang, showing off their elite status with their Mazda, and their custom plate.
