New features
1. Lookup Across Multiple Sheets
Comparing to the VLOOKUP function which can only look for a value from one range, this feature will help Excel users to batch look for multiple values across multiple worksheets at a time easily.

2. Lookup and Sum
This feature will find a row or column in the selection based on the given criteria and return the summation of the found row or column.

3. Lookup from right to left
Different from the VLOOKUP function which can only look for a value in the leftmost column of a range, this feature enables you to look for values in any column of a range, and return values in another column as you need.

4. Lookup from bottom to top
If there are multiple matched values, the VLOOKUP function will search from top to bottom and return the first matched value. But this feature will reverse the lookup order (from bottom to top) and return the last matched value.

5. Lookup between two values
This feature can help to look for a value between two values and return a matched result easily.

6. Replace 0 or #N/A with Blank or a Specified Value
If the lookup value is not found or empty, the VLOOKUP function will return #N/A error value or 0. This feature will return empty or a specified value for those unfound lookup values and empty values.

7. Dynamic Drop-down List
With this feature, you can quickly create a 2 levels dependent drop-down list or a 3-5 levels dependent drop-down list with several clicks only.

8. Colored Drop-down List
With this feature, you can quickly add multiple conditional formatting rules (highlight color) to cells or rows bases on the drop-down list options.

9. Multi-select Drop-down List
Normally you can select one option for one cell in the data validation (drop-down list) range in Excel. But after enabling this feature, you can select multiple options for every cell from the drop-down lists.

10. Drop-down List with Check Boxes
This feature will add a check box before each drop-down list option. After enabling this feature, you can tick the check boxes to select one or multiple options from the drop-down lists quickly.

11. Password Manager
This feature can add and manage passwords, which are used to open password-protected workbooks. After adding passwords in this manager, corresponding workbooks can be opened directly when using Combine Worksheets or other features of Kutools for Excel.
