I usually wait for the OP to post back, requesting a way to eliminate the
#N/A!

That way I have time to get up and fix another drink!

Where I am, it WAS SATURDAY EVENING !!!<g

Hi Ken!

Yes, I know ISERROR is the "catch-all".

Just wondering why you and RD didn't include an error trap
for the second lookup?

FALSE or 0? sheesh!

Wouldn't that be the same as:

=CONCATENATE(A1,B1) or =A1&B1

Hi Biff - ISERROR is a very general error trap in a
VLOOKUP, and is usually
better served with ISNA which will trap just the specific
issue the OP wants
to cater for.

Hi!

Assume lookup value is in sheet1 A1.

The first lookup table is in sheet2 A1:B5.
The second lookup table is in sheet3 A1:B5.

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B5,2,0)),IF(ISERR OR
(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet3!A1:B5,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet 3!
A1:B5,2,0)),VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A1:B5,2,0))

I would like my vlookup function to look for a value in
one sheet and if it
doesn't find it, look in another sheet. Is this
possible?

I was considering using a nested if function but not
sure
how.
