Usage notes 
XLOOKUP is a cutting edge substitution for the VLOOKUP capability. An adaptable and flexible capability can be utilized in a wide assortment of circumstances.

XLOOKUP can track down values in vertical or even ranges, can perform surmised and precise matches, and upholds special cases (* ?) for halfway matches. What's more, XLOOKUP can look through information beginning from the primary worth or the last worth (see match type and search mode subtleties underneath). Contrasted with more established capabilities like VLOOKUP, HLOOKUP, and LOOKUP, XLOOKUP offers a few key benefits.

Not found message

At the point when XLOOKUP can't find a match, it returns the #N/A blunder, as other match capabilities in Excel. Not at all like the other match capabilities, XLOOKUP upholds a discretionary contention called not_found that can be utilized to supersede the #N/A blunder when it would somehow show up. Regular qualities for not_found may be "Not found", "No match", "No outcome", and so on. While offering a benefit for not_found, encase the text in twofold statements ("").

Note: Be cautious assuming that you supply a vacant string ("") for not_found. In the event that no match is found, XLOOKUP will not show anything rather than #N/A. To see the #N/A blunder when a match isn't found, exclude the contention completely.

Example #1 - basic exact match

By default, XLOOKUP will perform an exact match. In the example below, XLOOKUP is used to retrieve Sales based on an exact match on Movie. The formula in H5 is:

=XLOOKUP(H4,B5:B9,E5:E9)


Example #2 - basic approximate match
To enable an approximate match, provide a value for the match_mode argument. In the example below, XLOOKUP is used to calculate a discount based on quantity, which requires an approximate match. The formula in F5 supplies -1 for match_mode to enable approximate match with "exact match or next smallest" behavior:
=XLOOKUP(E5,B5:B9,C5:C9,,-1)


The XLOOKUP capability in Microsoft Excel is a strong hunt device, permitting you to track down specific qualities from a scope of cells. It goes about as the swap for prior query capabilities, like VLOOKUP, killing a significant number of the constraints. We'll make sense of how for use XLOOKUP, bit by bit, in this instructional exercise.

XLOOKUP goes about as a custom hunt device, adaptable to the requests of various kinds of information in uniquely constructed Excel bookkeeping sheets. XLOOKUP is a somewhat new capability, just opening up for Microsoft 365 clients in 2020. While XLOOKUP has similitudes to other query capabilities, there are significant contrasts to consider.

As the name proposes, query capabilities like XLOOKUP pull matching information (definite matches, or the nearest accessible match) from an informational index in Excel. On the off chance that there's more than one matching outcome, the first or last outcome in the set is returned, contingent upon the contentions utilized.

Difference between Xlookup and Vlookup Functions
Xlookup
XLOOKUP hunts for data mutually horizontally and vertically. 
XLOOKUP can denote to the left of the lookup_value.
It has non-mandatory fields, the match_mode, and the search_mode. 
In case a match cannot be traced in the lookup_table, XLOOKUP supports an 
non-compulsory parameter called not_found which supersedes the #N/A error. 
In XLOOKUP, we need to state the lookup_value column and the return_value column alone.

Vlookup
VLOOKUP examines only vertically. 
It Sees the values towards the right of the lookup_value. 
All the arguments of VLOOKUP are mandatory does not have optional fields. 
VLOOKUP gives the default error message #N/A error. 
In VLOOKUP, we are required to notify the whole table_array.
