I think that one will actually solve a potential problem for me. I won't go into the details, but Vlookup concerns me in a certain application because it might match to the wrong value. DGET will make multiple matches fully apparent allowing me to deal with the situation. As far as my vote for the most useless function? Well, I've never been able to figure out where to use NA.
