If the valued returned in the cell is "exception" I want it to
automatically go to Cell A1! in the worksheet entitled " exceptions"
thanks for your patience

Well what are you looking to do in the exception tab? That would determine
what you would enter for it.

Yes, "exception" is the value returned
Not sure what I have to add to my existing formula to make it work Please
clarify again thanks

Where do you get "exception"? Is that a value returned in your VLOOKUP?

If so, then you would do something like
=IF(VLOOKUP([arguments])="exception",[Do what you want to do in the exception
tab],[Enter your ELSE clause here]).

Hope that helps.

I have the following formula in a cell, sometimes my answer will be "
exception "
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly
Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(J38,'2006 Monthly
Sales'!$E$2:$Q$386,10,FALSE))

If the answer is "exception" I want it to automatically go to the exception
worksheet - How about a hyperlink to that sheet or is there another way?

thanks
