Description
NOTES
  • Allows exact or approximate search (expected results if the array is sorted).
  • XLOOKUP is case-insensitive function, supports text search with wildcards or regular expressions.
  • Allows searching from the beginning and ending positions of an array.
  • By concatenating multiple columns as search criteria, you can search by multiple conditions in some cases.
