Multi criteria Xlookup efficiency problem
Our take
If you're experiencing sluggish performance with your XLOOKUP due to multiple criteria searches across a large dataset, you're not alone. Combining criteria like this can lead to inefficiencies, especially with around 150,000 rows of data. However, there are strategies to enhance performance without sacrificing accuracy. By optimizing your approach, you can streamline your formulas and speed up calculations. Continue reading to discover practical tips that will help you achieve faster results while maintaining the integrity of your multi-criteria lookups.
I'm using an Xlookup with multiple criteria.
For now I'm using: Xlookup (A1&B1, E:E&F:F, G:G)
This is slowing the file down since I'm using variations of this formula in multiple columns (with 4 or 5 criteria in some columns) and I have ~ 150k rows or so.
Any way to make this more efficient?

- Xlookup is returning "value not available", but only on some cellsUsing XLookup, with 3 criteria ranges. Using the formula: =XLOOKUP(1, (Criteria1_Range=Value1) * (Criteria2_Range=Value2) * (Criteria3_Range=Value3), Return_Range) Some of the cells are populating the answer, but others are coming back with a error. All the cells have matching formats, so its not an issue of conflicting formats. Any help is appreciated. Screen shot, including formula on a cell getting error is included. https://preview.redd.it/zaxd72pgyqzg1.png?width=1567&format=png&auto=webp&s=f11a2bd0795f0ad200eaa947004f15cb05f19c2d submitted by /u/hawkayecarumba [link] [comments]
- Need to return a value based on two different search criteria, multiple lines, VLOOKUPHi All, I have a report that I run at work that doesn't come out in a way that makes it easy to work with in an excel spread sheet. The best i can get it is a txt file that when pasted spreads values into different cells. I use VLOOKUP in other sheets to find one value and return another value in the same row. I don't know how to (or if it's even possible) to do this with multiple values on different rows. Could really use some help. I need some sort of VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP type of formula that does the following: -Searches Column A for a specific value -Then Searches Column B (Below where Column A value was found) for another value -Returns the value in Column C (Same Row as B) based on the value from B I'm pretty much stuck using Excel for this as my company doesn't allow outside/other programs to further organize the data. Macros may also be an option if anyone knows any. Thanks in advance with any answers. submitted by /u/QuandoOmniFluncas [link] [comments]
- Two workbooks, two columns in second book could include matching data, neatest most efficient way to query between them on multiple fields using excel formula only, no VBA / Power Query etc?Not even sure how to surmise this but here we go: Workbook 1, column i has a reference code, "EntID" which could be a number OR text. Workbook 2, that reference code might be found in Column A, or Column B, or neither. In Workbook 1, I need 5 lookup columns to pull data from 5 corresponding columns in Workbook 2 where there is a match for " EntID" in EITHER column A or B. If there is no match then the cell should state "Not Found". I have it working by using nested if statements, isnumber & xmatch for the first lookup column to ascertain where the match is found and then xlookups on remaining columns depending on the result returned to that cell but the formula are huge if for no other reason than the file naming and locations (which cannot be changed) and it feels slow, clunky and unrefined. How would you do it? submitted by /u/Delinquent90 [link] [comments]
- Excel Performance optimisation tips!Working in demand planning I have got it the point where I am making some pretty advanced files using a suite of techniques. My files often have lots of rows, with lots of Columns of complex formula including with sumifs, xloopup, ifs & Let. I’ve not advanced to using tables regularly though as I find the constraints & syntax annoying but am trying to get there & have started using power query to blend data for output analysis. The problem I am encountering is I filter ALOT drilling down into product groups etc, & excel tends to ‘hang’ a lot with ‘Not Responding’. Now I’m not sure it’s due to an underpowered machine (intel core i7 HP Elitebook) or, more likely lots of complex formula referencing ranges or tables. My question to the hive brain: share your optimisation tips & tricks! -Can Lamda combined with Let speed things up? -Are Tables vital to speeding up complex sumifs & lookups? - are match helper columns combined with Index leaner & faster than xlookup?
