Excel LOOKUPs are powerful and versatile functions that can save time and effort when working with large datasets, and they are some of Excel's most valuable and least understood functions. They are used to search for specific values within a data range and return related information from another location. In this session, we will explore ways to return data using advanced techniques like VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, NAMED RANGES, MATCH, and INDEX functions, and more.
