The formula I've been trying is:
=IF('[SZX TEST 1.0.xls]MT'!$C:$C="Y","=VLOOKUP($A:$A,'[SZX SHENZEN TEST (2).xls]MT'!$B:$AA,6,FALSE)","")
And I know the VLookUp part is right but I think I've messed up on wording of it perhaps? To be honest Column C doesn't need to be 'Y', it could be a number like '1' just as long as the formula works I'm not fussed on letter/number is in Column C.
I realise I probably haven't explained it too well, but I've attached the two spreadsheets if that helps?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks,

Dear LiziC, Good Afternoon.

Try to change your formula.

Before=IF('[SZX TEST 1.0.xls]MT'!$C:$C="Y","=VLOOKUP($A:$A,'[SZX SHENZEN TEST (2).xls]MT'!$B:$AA,6,FALSE)","")

Now..:=IF('[SZX TEST 1.0.xls]MT'!$C:$C="Y",VLOOKUP($A:$A,'[SZX SHENZEN TEST (2).xls]MT'!$B:$AA,6,FALSE),"")

Please, tell me if it worked for you.
