Default VLookup Help


Hi all,

Given below is a formula that we are trying to build,

IF($I$4INDEX(CategoryLookup!F:G,MATCH(VLOOKUP(*IN DIRECT(IF(ISBLANK($N$4),"$D$4","$N$4"))*,CategoryL ookup!A:C,2,0),CategoryLookup!E:E,0),2),"Above",IF ($I$4<INDEX(CategoryLookup!F:G,MATCH(VLOOKUP(*INDI RECT(IF(ISBLANK($N$4),"$D$4","$N$4"))*,CategoryLoo kup!A:C,2,0),CategoryLookup!E:E,0),1),"Below",PERC ENTRANK(INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("CategoryLookup!F",MA TCH(VLOOKUP(_*INDIRECT(IF(ISBLANK($N$4),\"$D$4\",\ "$N$4\"))*_,CategoryLookup!A:C,2,0),CategoryLookup !E:E,0),":","G",MATCH(VLOOKUP(*$D$4*,CategoryLooku p!A:C,2,0),CategoryLookup!E:E,0))),$I$4,2)))

We are trying to build a formula. As given above, the formula should
calculate the values for *$D$4* and *$N$4* depending on which field has
value (non blanks). So we tried to insert the condition
*INDIRECT(IF(ISBLANK($N$4),"$D$4","$N$4"))*. This worked fine for the
first and second replacement of *$D$4*. But when we tried to replace it
for the next occurance, as shown underlined, excel didn't allow to enter
the formula. Can anyone help on this ?

Is it some built in restriction on the usage of IF,VLOOKUP or INDIRECT
?
Thanks in advance
