Help needed.
XLOOKUP is only available in Excel in Microsoft 365 and Office 2021, not in older versions.
The first formula that I suggested should work in all versions of Excel.
Hi @hans_vogelaar,
Upon pasting the given formula =XLOOKUP(LEFT(C2, 3), $E$2:$E$22&"", $D$2:$D$22) into Cell F2, the displayed value is #NAME?. Could you kindly advise on the issue?
If I accidentally click on the formula given by the example document you provided, the returned value displays as #NAME?, even after clicking the Undo button, the data remains unretrievable. I am forced to close the entire spreadsheet and reopen it.
the formula provided {=_xlfn.XLOOKUP(LEFT(C12, 3), $E$2:$E$22&"", $D$2:$D$22)} is something new to me, as I'm not very fluent in Excel. Can you explain further how I should utilize and apply this technique to my actual data, I'd appreciate your insights on this.
Thank you in advance for your invaluable assistance.

Hi All,Appreciate the prompt replies,
I was using Excel 2016. I have tested the formula on Microsoft 365 Excel and it works now.
Again, thank you very much for the assistance.
