valued

Held in regard

Valued means considered important or precious: a valued member of the team, valued customers.

Something valued has worth assigned to it, whether emotional or monetary.

The word implies appreciation and esteem—to be valued is to matter to someone.

In technical contexts, valued simply means having a value assigned: a null-valued variable.
