POWER USER PRO TIP

Combining INDEX & MATCH

For years, a battle has raged in the Excel community about which formula is better: VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH.

My stance is pretty neutral (there are applications for both), but there are some unique and interesting benefits to using INDEX & MATCH. In this demo we’ll practice both versions, and compare and contrast the two approaches.

COMMON USE CASES:

  • Populating many lookup columns without having to manually update formulas
  • Working with more complex scenarios (like lookups with multiple matches)
