HLOOKUP
You can use the HLOOKUP function to find data in a table where the data you need to retrieve is laid out horizontally. There are four components in the HLOOKUP function, which belongs to the Lookup & Reference category. The HLOOKUP function is the same as VLOOKUP except that it checks for a row value rather than a column value. The syntax for HLOOKUP is
=HLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array, row_index_num, [range_lookup]).

XLOOKUP
Tip: Try using the new XLOOKUP function, an improved version of VLOOKUP that works in any direction and returns exact matches by default, making it easier and more convenient to use than its predecessor.

Use the XLOOKUP function to find things in a table or range by row. For example, look up the price of an automotive part by the part number, or find an employee name based on their employee ID. With XLOOKUP, you can look in one column for a search term, and return a result from the same row in another column, regardless of which side the return column is on.
