Everytime I relearn how to do a vlookup, none of the examples online do what I want. It's like they are trying to do something completely opposite of what I want. It's super weird, because what I want to do is always a pretty common thing to need done.



Never use vlookup . Always use match/index.


>Always use match/index.

I'm not sure how that'd help in any of the cases where I use vlookup.
