01 · FORMULA WORKFLOWNO WORKBOOK NEEDED

Exact-match lookup; compare VLOOKUP with XLOOKUP.

Locale mattersSome spreadsheet locales use semicolons between formula arguments. This changes separators only; it does not translate function names or decimal formats.
02 · READY-TO-PASTE FORMULABUILT LOCALLY
VLOOKUP · FORMULA TEXT=VLOOKUP(A2, 'Sheet2'!A:D, 2, FALSE)
XLOOKUP · exact match by defaultALTERNATIVE
=XLOOKUP(A2, 'Sheet2'!A:A, 'Sheet2'!B:B, "not found")
Check this before pastingVLOOKUP without its fourth argument defaults to approximate matching and can return a plausible wrong row on unsorted data. This builder always includes FALSE.
03 · ARGUMENT MAP4 PARTS
01 · lookup valueThe value or cell to find.
02 · table arrayVLOOKUP searches its first column.
03 · column indexCounts from the left; inserted columns can change the answer.
04 · FALSEForces exact match and prevents approximate-match surprises.
Test the result in your workbook
  1. Confirm each reference points to the intended cells and ranges.
  2. Check that dates and numbers are stored as values, not text.
  3. Try one row with an answer you already know before filling down.
