Vehicle Handbook Update 2026 - Now Here!

XLOOKUP() isn't the issue - it's use of the default parameter values, which are an Excel XOOKUP() thing only. And using CONCAT() instead of CONCATENATE().

Still very grateful to have it, though.

Come to think of it, I had problems with the concat() as well.
Glad you got it working.

I have been trying to use the 2026 VHB to spec the IISS air/raft from JTAS 6. The VHB version comes in at nearly 2.5x the cost, around 2.5 MCr. Is this to be expected, or am I doing something wrong?

There is a field for discounts (W3). I would not expect the discount to be THAT big. Without specs I can't go deeper.
The core book air raft comes in on target though, and it was made under the previous system.

It’s a new system.

I think we have to draw the inevitable conclusion that the author in JTAS 6 couldn’t even be bothered to invent a Time Machine, travel years forward in time to spring 2026, grab a copy of the VHB published that glorious year, take it back with them and responsibly design an air/raft that complies with that future system, thus ensuring a basic level of compatibility. Sheer laziness. You should demand a refund.

JTAS 6 came out before the previous edition of vehicles, so there is no telling what was used to make the scout air/raft.
