DGET Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Extracting a single value from a database that matches specific criteria
Understanding the DGET Formula
The DGET function in Excel extracts a single value from a database column when exactly one record matches the specified criteria. It's a precise database lookup tool—like finding a specific employee's phone number or a product's price based on unique identifiers.
DGET(database, "Phone", criteria_range) retrieves the phone number from the record that uniquely matches conditions defined in the criteria range. It takes database, field, and criteria arguments, applying strict filtering—and returns an error if either no matches or multiple matches are found.
Why Use DGET?
DGET enables precise single-value extraction—think unique record lookup or database validation. Its error handling for no matches (#VALUE!) or multiple matches (#NUM!) makes it valuable for ensuring data integrity in lookup operations or verifying unique constraints in datasets.
Example with Sample Data
Scenario | Formula | Result |
---|---|---|
Look up salary for employee ID E12345 | =DGET(A1:F100, "Salary", G1:H2) | $72,500 |
Find price for product SKU ABC-123 | =DGET(A1:F100, "Price", G4:H5) | $24.99 |
Retrieve status for order #10058 | =DGET(A1:F100, "Status", G7:H8) | Shipped |
DGET extracts single values: $72,500 salary for employee E12345, "Shipped" status for order #10058. If criteria match more than one record or none at all, DGET returns an error rather than potentially incorrect data. It's a precise database extractor.
