XLOOKUP is an Excel function that searches a range or array and returns a matching value. It replaces VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP: it looks in any direction, returns an exact match by default, doesn’t break when you insert or move columns, and can handle a “not found” message on its own. If you know VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP does the same job with far fewer headaches.

How to Build Custom Copilot Agents?
A Practical Walkthrough Using Microsoft Copilot Studio
1. Introduction
Custom Copilot agents are task-specific AI assistants you build for your organization’s unique needs. Unlike the general Microsoft 365 Copilot chat, these agents are tailored to specific business workflows and grounded in your own data.
Copy-paste prompts that deliver results from day one
Most managers who try Microsoft 365 Copilot for the first time come away with the same reaction: ‘It seemed useful, but I wasn’t sure what to ask it.’ That is not a Copilot problem, it is a prompting problem. And it is entirely fixable.
Six high-value workflows for analysts and finance professionals
Finance professionals spend a disproportionate amount of their working day doing things that are important but not particularly analytical: cleaning and formatting data, writing formulas they half-remember, building the same charts for the same reports every month, and translating numbers into written commentary for stakeholders.
Microsoft 365 Copilot is an AI assistant that helps users create, summarize, analyze, and automate tasks across Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, and more. It integrates your work data (emails, documents, chats) and lets you use natural-language prompts to get results. For example, you can ask Copilot to draft emails, summarize lengthy reports, create slide outlines, or identify trends in spreadsheets.
