LOOKUP QUERY
I have a problem with a lookup table whereby we have a series of part numbers all starting with the same numeric value but then end with a different alpha numeric value. When we run the Lookup it wont return a value:
=LOOKUP(B14,Data!A5:A404,Data!E5:E404)*AN5

=XLOOKUP(B14, Data!A5:A404, Data!E5:E404, "Not Found") * AN5
XLOOKUP is more flexible and doesn’t require the data to be sorted, plus it allows for an exact match lookup, which would suit part numbers with similar starting digits.
