For large datasets, VLOOKUP can become slow due to its reliance on the first column. Consider using INDEX/MATCH with an array formula. Alternatively, look into Power Query (Get & Transform Data) as a more efficient method for data retrieval and manipulation. Power Query offers optimized lookup functions for large datasets and handles errors gracefully.
