Hi all,

Is there an "or" function per-se for lookup values under XLookup? Below I have a table that has a couple of different name combinations. I would like to be able to lookup both name variations in the table below (Preferred name column AND the reverse name column) and then return the employees time logged data, which I have data for sat in a pivot table.

E.g. =XLOOKUP(A6 OR B6,'Pivot 2022-01'!A:A,'Pivot 2022-01'!B:B,"0",0)
