⚠️ Common Pitfalls
🚫 Array Size Mismatch
The Lookup Array (e.g., A2:A100) and Return Array (e.g., B2:B100) MUST be the same height.
✅ Fix: Check your ranges match exactly.
🚫 Selecting Whole Table
Unlike VLOOKUP, you select two separate columns, not the whole table.
✅ Fix: Select only the specific columns you need.
