<h1>XLOOKUP Function</h1>
|
||
<p>The <b>XLOOKUP</b> function is one of the lookup and reference functions. It is used to perform the search for a specific item by row both horizontally and vertically. The result is returned in another column and can accommodate two-dimensional datasets.</p>
|
||
<p>The <b>XLOOKUP</b> function syntax is:</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>XLOOKUP (lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, [if_not_found], [match_mode], [search_mode])</em></b></p>
|
||
<p><em>where</em></p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>lookup-value</em></b> is a value to search for.</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>lookup_array</em></b> is an array or range to search in.</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>return_array</em></b> is an array or range to return the results to.</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>if_not_found</em></b> is an optional argument. If there is no search result, the argument returns the text stated in [if_not_found]. In case the text is not specified, the “N/A” is returned.</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>match_mode</em></b> is an optional argument.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><b><em>0</em></b> (set by default) returns the exact match; if there is no match, the “N/A” is returned instead.</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>-1</em></b> returns the exact match; if there is none, the next smaller item is returned.</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>1</em></b> returns the exact match; if there is none, the next larger item is returned.</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>2</em></b> is a wildcard match.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>search_mode</em></b> is an optional argument.
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li><b><em>1</em></b> starts a search at the first item (set by default).</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>-1</em></b> starts a reverse search, i.e. at the last item.</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>2</em></b> starts a binary search with the <b><em>lookup_array</em></b> sorted in ascending order. If not sorted, invalid results will be returned.</li>
|
||
<li><b><em>-2</em></b> starts a binary search with the <b><em>lookup_array</em></b> sorted in descending order. If not sorted, invalid results will be returned.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p class="note">
|
||
Wildcard characters include the question mark (?) that matches a single character and the asterisk (*) that matches multiple characters. If you want to find a question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) before the character.
