Applied XLOOKUP | The Workshop

Forget VLOOKUP. Forget INDEX MATCH
Use XLOOKUP and never look back

Workshop includes Excel workbooks + 12 months’ recording access

Why this Workshop Matters?

Think you know XLOOKUP?
Most people only use 25% of what it can do.


Most finance professionals have used XLOOKUP… but few truly understand it. That’s why:

  • Formulas look right, but you secretly doubt the results
  • Errors like #N/A, #VALUE, or #CALC leave you confused and frustrated
  • You stick with VLOOKUP or INDEX/MATCH “because it feels safer”
  • You only use XLOOKUP as a lookup as you are scared something breaks

You’re not alone. This workshop exists to fix all that.

This workshop isn't about memorising syntax. It’s about using XLOOKUP creatively to explore your numbers and analyse data better

Teams report discovering new ways to analyse data and save hours of ad hoc work after this workshop


    Who this is for:
  • For FP&A Analysts, FP&A professionals, finance managers - anyone who knows they could get more from XLOOKUP but haven’t been shown how ... yet

See XLOOKUP in Action

Here's a 30-second overview of the Workshop
