VLOOKUP vs. INDEX/MATCH – The debate ends here!

During one of my Excel training sessions, I was surprised to find out that the people were aware and quite proficient in using VLOOKUP, but most of them had no idea about INDEX/MATCH.

Here in this blog post, I will try and compare these 2 formulas as objectively as I can in terms of popularity, ease of use, flexibility, and speed.

INDEX/MATCH is powerful combo that has more flexibility and speed formula than the VLOOKUP formula. If you haven't already adopted INDEX/MATCH as the way of life, it is time you do it.
