Excel DGET Function Solves 2 of Your VLOOKUP Problems

12 Views

Excel DGET Function is one of Excel's "forgotten" database functions that can do a Left lookup (unlike VLOOKUP) and ALSO easily look for multiple criteria.

One limitation of DGET is that you can't apply it to multiple cells. Basically you can't pull down the formula to lookup different values. If that's something you need, then you'll need to use INDEX MATCH, VLOOKUP, Excel FILTER function or FILTER feature or XLOOKUP. Check out the links under Related Videos below to find these videos.

08:18 DGET With Multiple Criteria

DGET can lookup values to the left and act like an automatic filter.

Excel DGET disadvantages:
1. DGET formula can't be pulled down - you'll need to include the header for each lookup value
2. DGET returns an error (#Num error - 7:25) if there are duplicate lookup values in the range (as opposed to VLOOKUP or Index & Match which return the first match).
