VLOOKUP sucks: Excel non matches, duplicates, fuzzy match ++

VLOOKUP has been Excel's 3rd most used function for decades up to 2020, but it has shortcomings, in this video I showcase other methods to join tables including: XLOOKUP (VLOOKUP but easier and more powerful), TEXTJOIN with IF to match with duplicates, Power Query for different table join types, matching based on 2 columns and fuzzy matching (e.g. match Brazil to Brasil) and lastly Power Pivot to create Pivot table analysis based on multiple tables of different granularity.
