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.

Here is my screenshot! Great challenge!

The unique identifiers were a little finicky for me, but I was able to get them to work!
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!

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.
