Queries, VLookup, XLookup, & Co.

Excel can take large data sets. But getting hold of required data can be tricky. Here, different possibilities are explained: The filter and the VLOOKUP() which are often heard of, but not really mastered. But there are more options like the Advanced filter, IF(), Database functions and the new, cutting-edge ones like SWITCH() and the brand new, very convenient XLOOKUP(). All are explained with examples and their specific benefits and downsides.
