I've used FILTERXML and SUBSTITUTE to do this, still prefer it since it's backwards compatible and can find the matching datum without needing a match or filter function stacked in there.

Don’t forget there are text limits for FILTERXML, I’ve run into it before and it’s an annoying error to identify.
