vlookup + curly brackets

Perhaps too late to discover and blame it on unstructured self-learning:

Just learned that vlookup + curly brackets can be used to look up multiple columns. Spent a good part of my career writing several vlookups that could've been done much faster.

Edit: Adding sample from Gemini.

Formula Structure: =VLOOKUP("Key", A2:D10, {2, 3, 4}, FALSE)

{2, 3, 4}: Tells the formula to return the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th columns simultaneously.

Result: The data will automatically fill into three adjacent cells.
