Xlookup works fine for like 90% of cases, I save index match mainly for when I need to return multiple lookup values. In which case I load into BI because I always forget how index match works 😫
Yeah if its something ad hoc I’ll paste values but for sheets meant to be maintained I’ll do it in PQ through merges or calculated columns. Lookups get the job done but they are expensive ;)
There’s no way they’re using xlookup at year 7. You can pry my index match from my cold dead hands.

I should probably learn how BI works, but I’m mostly torturing excel to do things it was never intended to do.
Also I do a lot of lookups and xlookup will slow my sheet down.
