๐Ÿ‘€ XLOOKUP on the Throne

The XLOOKUP function in Excel is a newer and more advanced version of the VLOOKUP function, with several key advantages. It allows you to perform lookups in either direction, search for partial matches, and perform exact matches without sorting the lookup table. Overall, XLOOKUP is more versatile and easier to use than VLOOKUP.
