Calling excel snobs!
I’m certain this topic has seen its fair facts of airtime on WSO, but can we just hash it out? What’s better? XLOOKUP or Index match? Is index match more traditionalist or something? Am I missing a glaring pro or con? I only use index match because I thought once way back when in training someone said it was better but now I’m thinking they didn’t know any different. I’ve been index match since day like 6 with no real reason to use XLOOKUP. Is XLOOKUP maybe more intuitive? Yes, if you’re first learning it. They do the same thing no? If yes, which one is tuffer?
Both are fine, minor limitations of XLOOKUP, only advise is to already use index or sumif if you can because more computationally efficient.
XLOOKUP isn't backwards compatible to Excel 2016 and 2019 (might impact some clients). XLOOKUP has a 'if not found' function. Also format/order of data might impact.
INDEX/MATCH is fine, though excel novices seem to find it less intuitive when learning.
