Reconciliation of List using Power Query better than V lookup, Index Match or Xlookup

Overview

List reconciliation is a common business task (two files, two systems, one truth). Power Query can match, compare, and explain differences more reliably than lookup formulas.

Why you should Attend

• Lookups break with duplicates, missing values, and changing formats-reconciliations become risky
• Manual matching is slow and error-prone, especially at month-end closures
• Power Query provides a repeatable process and a clear audit trail of steps
• Learn techniques to identify mismatches, missing records, and duplicates quickly
• Reduce reconciliation turnaround time and improve reporting confidence
