Unlike VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP does not require count indices, never breaks when columns are inserted, can look to the left, and defaults safely to exact matching!
=XLOOKUP(lookup_value, lookup_array, return_array, [if_not_found], [match_mode], [search_mode])
=XLOOKUP(E2, C2:C100, A2:A100, "Employee Not Found")
=XLOOKUP(G1, A2:A20, XLOOKUP(G2, B1:F1, B2:F20))
