Default Need a macro to do what this VLOOKUP does

I kind of figured that I would'nt be able to edit the
resulting text, using the formula. I didn't think about
that when I came up with the idea, was excited that I
thought of a time saving measure, before thinking what
the end result was.
More training needed, but having fun learning...

Hi Tim
if you want to edit the formula result (your text) you

can't do this in
the same cell. You either have a formula (with its

result) or a static
value (which can be altered).

You can "edit" the cell by using the INDIRECT

function. Example.
=IF(ISNUMBER(D5),VLOOKUP($A5,INDIRECT("Data!

B1:X1000"),5,FALSE),"")

Frank helped me out with the the following VLOOKUP

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP('Sheet2'!R33,'Sheet10'!
F1:G59,2)),"",VLOOKUP('Sheet1'!R33,'Sheet10'!

F1:G59,2)) &
CHAR(10) & CHAR(10) &
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP('Sheet2'!R34,'Sheet10'!
F1:G59,2)),"",VLOOKUP('Sheet1'!R34,'Sheet10'!

F1:G59,2)) &
CHAR(10) & CHAR(10) &
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP('Sheet2'!R35,'Sheet10'!
F1:G59,2)),"",VLOOKUP('Sheet1'!R35,'Sheet10'!

F1:G59,2)) &
CHAR(10) & CHAR(10) &
IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP('Sheet2'!R36,'Sheet10'!
F1:G59,2)),"",VLOOKUP('Sheet1'!R36,'Sheet10'!

F1:G59,2))

The problem is after I finished it, I realized that I
would need to edit the data once it was in the cell,

but
with the VLOOKUP I was unable to edit the data.
Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do with a

macro.

Basically I have cells in 'Sheet1'(R33-R36) that may

or
maynot have data in them(they are also VLOOKUP's). If
there is data in any of these cells, I want them to

look
it up in 'Sheet10' and grab the info in row 2 and

place
in cell A16 of 'Sheet6'. But each entry from(R33 to

R36)
would be a new paragraph.
The other part I would like to add is (AND FURTHER

THAT)
inbetween each new paragraph(if there is data in

cells
R34, R35 ,R36). If not I don't need (AND FURTHER

THAT) to
appear.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
