Vlookup, Xlookup and Hlookup

Comparing Vlookup and Xlookup which is the best

RE: Vlookup, Xlookup and Hlookup

Hi Innocent,

Thank you for the forum question and the nice feedback. I am happy that the course was useful.


Both VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP are awful functions. They get your Excel files slow and get your Excel files crash. They use a lot of memory.

The XLOOKUP is both a horizontal and a vertical lookup. It can do much more than VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP and is much more efficient when it comes to use of memory.

I have stopped using VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP after we got the XLOOKUP.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

New to Excel 2010 - Sparklines!

Excel 2010 includes a new feature called Sparklines which are tiny charts that fit into a single cell and plot data in cells from the worksheet. There are a host of formatting and styles that can be applied to them and they are really quite interesting.

>Choose any style you want

You will be asked for the range and it will automatically select the cell your in to insert the sparklines.
