Google Sheets has a built-in MATCH function, which you can use to search for anything in a defined cell range. The formula's syntax is =MATCH (key, range, type).

You can use VLOOKUP with Google Sheets similar to how the search function is used to find information in Excel.

Spreadsheets are supposed to save time, but sometimes they just make things messier. I hated digging through endless menus until I found a handful of formulas that do the heavy lifting for me.
