Xlookup works fine for like 90% of cases, I save index match mainly for when I need to return multiple lookup values. In which case I load into BI because I always forget how index match works 😫

I should probably learn how BI works, but I'm mostly torturing excel to do things it was never intended to do.

Also I do a lot of lookups and xlookup will slow my sheet down.
