Xlookup

Hello Altab,

Thank you for your post.

I hope I understand your question correctly. If so, we can break it down step by step.

Step 1: Using XLOOKUP
First, you'll use the `XLOOKUP` function to find the value you need from your first set of data. The syntax for `XLOOKUP` is:

=XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array)

For example, if you want to look up a value in column A and return the corresponding value from column B, you would use:

=XLOOKUP(A2, A:A, B:B)

Step 2: Combining with AND/OR
Next, you can use the `AND` or `OR` functions to evaluate another condition. Here’s how you can combine them:

Using AND
If you want to check if both conditions are true, you can nest the `AND` function within an `IF` statement:

=IF(AND(XLOOKUP(A2, A:A, B:B) = "Value1", C2 = "Value2"), "Result1", "Result2")

This formula checks if the value found by `XLOOKUP` is "Value1" and if the value in column C is "Value2". If both conditions are true, it returns "Result1"; otherwise, it returns "Result2".

Using OR
If you want to check if either condition is true, you can nest the `OR` function within an `IF` statement:

=IF(OR(XLOOKUP(A2, A:A, B:B) = "Value1", C2 = "Value2"), "Result1", "Result2")

This formula checks if either the value found by `XLOOKUP` is "Value1" or the value in column C is "Value2". If either condition is true, it returns "Result1"; otherwise, it returns "Result2".

Example
Let's say you have two sets of data:
- **Set 1**: Column A (IDs), Column B (Names)
- **Set 2**: Column C (IDs), Column D (Status)

You want to look up the name from Set 1 based on the ID in Set 2 and check if the status is "Active". You can use:

=IF(AND(XLOOKUP(C2, A:A, B:B) = "John Doe", D2 = "Active"), "Match Found", "No Match")

This formula will return "Match Found" if the name corresponding to the ID in column C is "John Doe" and the status in column D is "Active".

Feel free to adjust the ranges and values to fit your specific data. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, just let us know!
