DGET
DGET returns exactly one value from a field in a database that matches the criteria; it returns a #VALUE! error if multiple records match and #NUM! if none match. It is useful for precise lookup when you expect exactly one matching record.

How it works
- 1Ensure your criteria uniquely identify one row in the database, otherwise DGET will error.
- 2Enter =DGET(database, field, criteria) where field is the column to retrieve.
- 3Handle errors with IFERROR in case the criteria match zero or multiple records.
