Give Gridzu a list of values and it finds every match across all your tables at once — the job VLOOKUP does between two files, but with no #N/A, no broken references, and no dragging a formula down 50,000 rows.
Cross-file VLOOKUP means exact file paths, absolute ranges, and a formula that silently breaks if a column moves or the other file closes. One typo and the whole column fills with #N/A, and you still can't easily see which lookups failed. For a one-off "are these 500 IDs in that export?" it's a lot of setup.
Trying to reconcile two whole files rather than look up a list? Compare two Excel files shows what's added, removed, and changed. Cleaning up matches you found? Remove duplicates on your key column. And it all works on large files that would make an Excel VLOOKUP crawl.
Every lookup happens locally — Gridzu never sends your data to our servers. The only thing our service stores is the email you sign in with.
In Gridzu you don't write a VLOOKUP at all. Open both files, then use Bulk Lookup: paste or select the list of values you're looking for, and Gridzu finds every matching row across your tables and shows them together. It's the same job as VLOOKUP between two files, without the formula or the #N/A errors.
Yes — that's the point. Instead of dragging a formula down a column, you give Gridzu a whole list of values (IDs, emails, SKUs) and it returns all the matches in one table you can review and export.
Gridzu clearly separates the values that matched from the ones that didn't, so you can see exactly which items are missing — much easier than scanning a column of #N/A results.
No. The lookup runs entirely on your own computer. Your files are never sent to our servers.
