Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
I would not use the isdate function. Probably if your field contains a date then Excel will recognize it anyway. Leave the formatting for later.
