XLOOKUP function

PRO

The XLOOKUP function in Jspreadsheet Formulas Pro is a tool that helps you find specific values within a set range or an array. You provide it with a value to search for, and it will scan the specified range or array for that value. Then, XLOOKUP gives you the corresponding value from a different range or array that occupies the same position as the located value. This function is useful when you want to correlate data between different lists or tables.

Documentation

Searches a range or an array for a specified value and returns a corresponding value in the same position from another range or array.

Syntax

XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, [match_mode], [search_mode])

Parameter	Description
`lookup_value`	The value to search for.
`lookup_array`	The range or array to search.
`return_array`	The range or array to return a value from.
`match_mode`	Optional. Specifies how the function matches lookup_value with values in lookup_array. 0 → Exact match (default), -1 → Exact match or next smaller item, 1 → Exact match or next larger item, 2 → Wildcard match (using * or ?)
`search_mode`	Optional. Specifies whether the function searches for an exact or approximate match. 1 → Search from first to last (default), -1 → Search from last to first

Behavior

The XLOOKUP function is designed to return a value in a list or array, based on a matched value in a different list or array. Here are some of its behaviors:

XLOOKUP can perform a lookup to the left or the right. This means it does not entirely depend on looking up data on the right of the lookup value.
If the lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the lookup_array, XLOOKUP will return the #N/A error.
If the lookup_value is larger than the largest value in the lookup_array and match_mode is set to 1, XLOOKUP will return the #N/A error.
XLOOKUP is case-insensitive. It does not distinguish between lowercase and uppercase text.
If an array is empty, XLOOKUP will return #VALUE! error.
It treats both text and Boolean values as legitimate lookup values.
XLOOKUP can return a single value or an array of values (horizontal or vertical).

Common Errors

Error	Description
`#N/A`	This error occurs when `XLOOKUP` cannot find the `lookup_value`.
`#VALUE!`	This error occurs if `lookup_array` and `return_array` have mismatched sizes or if the input types are invalid.
`#REF!`	This error is returned when the given cell reference is not valid.

Best practices

Always ensure that your lookup_array and return_array are of the same length to avoid #VALUE! errors.

Use absolute cell references when copying and pasting your XLOOKUP formula to other cells to keep the array references constant.

Specify the if_not_found parameter to handle instances where the lookup_value is not found in the lookup_array.

Use the match_mode argument to define how XLOOKUP matches the lookup_value with values in lookup_array. It determines whether an exact match is needed or a closest match is acceptable.

Usage

A few examples using the XLOOKUP function.

XLOOKUP("apple", ["apple","banana","cherry"], [5, 10, 15]) returns 5  
XLOOKUP(2, [1,2,3], ["one","two","three"], -1) returns "two"  
XLOOKUP("green", ["red","yellow","green","blue"], ["roses","sunflowers","grass","ocean"], ,1) returns "grass"
