6|EXCEL – Join Data Using XLOOKUP for Investors

Good work!

This one was really cool! I had no idea that XLOOKUP had so many other parameters and it was a good way to learn one more. I was super stumped and was wondering why my dollar values weren’t showing correctly after I had done all the formulas, and as able to find out how to use the match parameter. So cool! Here is my solution posted below.

Thanks for the challenge! Here is a screenshot of my solution.

I learned a lot about XLOOKUP. I knew it a few classes ago but it got pushed out of my memory. Now I feel more confident in my ability to use this formula.

It would not let me upload the excel file… it said it was too big of a file.
Here is my screenshot! Great challenge!


Xlookup might be my favorite function in any data software ever. It is so useful and saves so much time and is easier to use than a vlookup or h lookup.
The unique identifiers were a little finicky for me, but I was able to get them to work!


Great challenge! It’s been a whiile since I used XLOOKUPS. This was a great refresher.

Here is my version of the answer. Great Practice of xlookup and I just remember there is a fuzzy match option under that function. Super cool stuff, never forget again!

It was good practice for the XLOOKUP function!

I had fun practicing XLookup in this challenge! I wasn’t aware of the match mode part of XLookup so that’s something that I’m sure will be useful in the future.

I enjoyed practicing my xlookups. This was a solid challenge. I will say the portfolio tab took me a little to figure out how to interpret but I eventually figured it out. Thanks for putting this together
