Function Index-Match in Excel

You can use a combination of index and match instead of vlookup.
And it is better than vlookup.

Function Index

INDEX(array, row_num, [column_num])

• A range of cells or an array constant.

• Selects the row in array from which to return a value.

• Selects the column in array from which to return a value.

Return

Returns the value of an element in a table or an array, selected by the row and column number indexes.

Function Match

MATCH(lookup_value, lookup_array, [match_type])

• lookup_value: The value that you want to match in lookup_array.

• lookup_array: The range of cells being searched.

• match_type: -1, 0, or 1. The match_type argument specifies how Excel matches values. Default value is 1.

match_type

• 1: values in lookup_array <= lookup_value

• 0: values in lookup_array = lookup_value

• -1: values in lookup_array >= lookup_value

Return

MATCH returns the position of the matched value within lookup_array, not the value itself.
If MATCH is unsuccessful in finding a match, it returns the #N/A error value.

String search

• MATCH does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters when matching text values.

• If match_type is 0 and lookup_value is a text string, you can use the wildcard characters — the question mark (?) and asterisk (*) — in the lookup_value argument. A question mark matches any single character; an asterisk matches any sequence of characters. If you want to find an actual question mark or asterisk, type a tilde (~) before the character.
