    In this video you'll learn all about the index match function using five real-world scenarios you might encounter at work. First, we'll go over a simple index match with one criteria. Then, we'll go over an index match with two criteria, meaning we'll need two match functions (one for the row and one for the column). Third, we'll go over a dynamic index match where we'll use relative referencing to apply the same function across multiple ranges. Fourth, we'll go through an advanced index match example with three criteria by combining the index match with the ampersand. Finally, we'll go over the main limitation of the index match with an alternate solution using the SUM and FILTER combinations.

    Hi, I have got a small doubt. In the last section, you've given a filtered array in the FILTER() to get for January month. However, the filtered array doesn't have any header for the months. How's it giving results then?

    • @r.bharatmurthy8512
      @r.bharatmurthy8512 Před 8 měsíci

      If you look at the 2nd argument for the outer filter function it's referencing C9:J9 = C4, that's where it is getting it from, so it's not the filtered array but rather the original one it is looking up for the month.... at least I think so.. also when you filter an array normally it doesn't get rid of the headers

      @venkataramanasimham5514 Před 11 měsíci +3

      Greetings, That was an interesting question. I've reviewed your question and here is my thought. The Limitation of XLOOKUP is, it cannot handle two dimensional data while searching for the values unlike the index and match does. Meaning in XlOOKUP only one specific column can be chosen where our search search criteria exists. Hope that answers the question.

    Might be wrong but I get the feeling that you can solve all of these way easier with a QUERY function.

    advanced index match is not getting as you said its coming #value!
    & filter formula don't exist in my excel why?

      that is bcoz we need to convert the formula into an array formula, otherwise you will see a #VALUE! error.
      Once you've entered the formula, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to resolve the issue

    don't you need to include the table headings? I am look at a table with different headings and data and need to use index match for that

    Why not just use SUMIFS fuction in the bonus example?

      Hey! The SUMIFS unfortunately doesn't work. That's because the criteria ranges and the sum range don't have the same number of rows and columns (feel free to try it and let me know if otherwise though)

    wouldn't it be easier to do these calculations with a pivot table?

      Yes, but pivot table also has its own limitations. When you change the data in the source table, you need to refresh the pivot table. But you don't need to refresh anything with these formulas, as the formulas will update automatically. This could be helpful if you are doing a lot of change in your source data.
