V Lookup

Is there a formula which is preferred to V lookup? I believe I remember YENS saying that V lookup was slow and that there where other formulas which where better and did the same job? Maybe MATCH?

RE: V Lookup

Hi Chris,

Thank you for the forum question.

Yes the Vlookup can slow down everything in Excel if you work with many records. A much more efficient option is a Index function together with a Match function, but it is also a more complicated option. Index/match can also do much more than the Vlookup.

I found a video on YouTube which very well explain this.
