Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between VLOOKUP and XLOOKUP?
VLOOKUP only searches from left to right and breaks if new columns are inserted into the source range. XLOOKUP can search in any direction (left, right, up, down), defaults to exact match mode without requiring FALSE, and includes built-in fallback values for missing records.
Do these shortcuts work in Google Sheets as well as Excel?
Yes. Major core navigation shortcuts (such as Ctrl/Cmd+Arrow for region jumping, Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+D for fill down, and Shift+Space for row selection) are identical between Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets in modern web browsers.
How do I toggle between Windows and Mac keys?
Click the "macOS ⌘" button at the top of the studio to instantly convert all PC keys (Control, Alt, Enter) into native Apple keyboard modifiers (Command ⌘, Option ⌥, Return).
