where item (B5:B15) and price (D5:D15) are named ranges. The same formula without named ranges is: XLOOKUP’s arguments are configured as follows:
The lookup_value comes from cell F5 The lookup_array is the named range item (B5:B15) The return_array is the named range price (D5:D15) The not_found argument is provided as “no match” The match_mode is set to 0 (exact match) The search_mode is set to -1 (last to first)
At each row, XLOOKUP looks for the item name in column F in B5:B15, starting at the bottom. When an exact match is found, the corresponding price in column D is returned. If no match is found, XLOOKUP will return #N/A. Note: this example depends on data being sorted by date in ascending order. If data is unsorted, see this example.
