Thank you for your posting here is what I have so far but it is still not
working: =IF(D10="",IF(D11="","",VLOOKUP(D11,A323:F391,4)=" QM","Quality -
for QM Plant only"),VLOOKUP(D10,A228:D294,4)="QM","Quality - for QM Plant
only"))

the hold up is the two "look ups" using different cells and different cell
look ups, if that makes sence?

One way (if I understand you correctly):

=IF(D10="",IF(D11="", "", VLOOKUP(D11,A323:F391,6)),
VLOOKUP(D10,A323:F391,6))

I am trying to use a cell to show one of two different inputs from two
different cells into one using vlookup. I used 'or' did not work I used :
=IF(D10="","",IF(D10="",(VLOOKUP(D10,A228:F320,6)) ,IF(D11="","",IF(D11,"",(VLO
OKUP(D11,A323:F391,6))))))
excell accepted but it does not work. The cells d10 and d11 are validation
cell with lists.
