Joe,

the problem occurs when the value in E isn't in my lookup table. Here is
my
code:
With ActiveCell
RowCount = .Offset(0, -1).End(xlDown).Row - .Offset(0, -1).Row + 1
.FormulaR1C1 = _


"=IF(RC[-4]=""C"",VLOOKUP(RC[-3],USB,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(RC[-3],FAS,2,FALSE))"
.AutoFill .Resize(RowCount)
End With

the formula is actually an if statement with 1 vlookup if column "C" has a
"C" in it, and another vlookup if it doesn't have a "C" in it. So, I am
not
sure where the #N/A is coming from, but I believe it is because the value
isn't in the lookup table.

AAAAAGGGGHHHHH....

Any more ideas...I really appreciate the help....

if(iserror(vlookup(blah blah blah),1,vlookup(blah blah blah))

basically, this changes teh result of the formula to 1 instead of #N/A.
Now
you can do a conditional format on the 1.

I'd say make the 1 a text string, but vba doesn't like quotes

Hi,

I have a Vlookup function in column H of a worksheet (which is written
in
code as part of a macro). I want to do conditional formatting if the
vlookup
result is #N/A (which I would also like to be part of my macro). I
need to
do this for all the cells in column H, not just one specific cell. In
the
worksheet, I may or may not have a #N/A to highlight. Any help would
be
GREATLY APPRECIATED...as I have been trying to figure this out for 3
hours
now.

Thanks,
Sara
