What is Index Match?

Index Match is a powerful function in spreadsheet software like Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets. It is used to look up values in a table based on row and column criteria. It overcomes limitations of the VLOOKUP function by being able to look up values to the left or right of the lookup column, and it avoids issues when columns are inserted or deleted. INDEX returns the value at a specific row and column within a range, while MATCH finds the row or column number for a specific lookup value. By combining these, you can create flexible and robust lookup formulas. Common use cases include retrieving data from large datasets, creating dynamic dashboards, and automating report generation.
