Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone can help me? I'm trying to use a combination of
an If equation and a VLookup across two different spreadsheets and I'm
not sure how to word the formula.

Basically, on the SZX TEST 1.0 spreadsheet, if the contents of Column C
is 'Y' then on the Column B on the SZX Delivery Note 1.0 is filled in
with the VLookup, and if Column C is blank, then Column B is also
blank.

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,
Liz

This tested in the source file. So,add your filename and change b4 to a25
=OFFSET($G$1,SUMPRODUCT(--($B$4:$B$40=B4)*--(($C$4:$C$40)="Y")*--(ROW($G$4:$G$40)-1)),0)
