Here are some possible solutions -

All solutions rely on using -1 in Search Mode (last argument):

Method #1:
Yellow Yellow
Here we keep "not found" and "match mode" empty.

Method #2:
Yellow Yellow
Here we use "not found" message in our if_not_found argument

Method #3:
Yellow Yellow
Using match mode 0 means using exact match (default behavior)

#NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME? #NAME?

In this example, we ask to look for the License Plate in cell B10,
Then we ask to lookup the value in range C4:C8.
Finally, we can return all the relevant data for this car by
higlighting range A4:E8, so Excel will return all the row if matched!
This magic happens using Excel Dynamic Arrays,
which allows returning multiple values!

We just need to use horizontal range selection instead of vertical.
Easy, right?
