Default Formula problem in code

Hi,
LOOKUP function will return the last value for an ID not found in
table or #N/A if less than minimum value. Consider using VLOOKUP (or MATCH)
instead with an error check

The formula will look something like:

=if(iserror(Vlookup(Myvalue,Mytable,2))," ",Vlookup(Myvalue,Mytable,2))

where MyValue is the ID
MyTable holds the data .... columns A & B ?
2 selects data from 2nd column in MYtable e.g column B

For the LOOKUP with columns A & G, MyTable will be A:G and 2 will be changed
to 8 (column G) .. I think!


Have to rush off now ....

Yes, that works great with only one problem. If I type an invalid
employee ID # in it just fills in the employee in the last row on the
Employee(s) sheet. Is there a way to prevent it from displaying Info if
the ID # is incorrect?

Also, any reason why excel freezes when i delete a row from
"Employee(s) Pay" sheet?


Thanks for the help!
