Default Vlookup problem

My invoice doc got retitled - so i used my new doc and inserted the formula
but am getting an error in formula - here is my new formula:

IF(ISNA(INDEX('[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Maturing
Loans'!$A:$A,MATCH,(G14,'[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Maturing
Loans'!$F:$F,FALSE,1))"",INDEX('[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Maturing
Loans'!$A:$A,MATCH,(G14,'[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Maturing
Loans'!$F$F,FALSE),1))

Am i missing something?

Thanks again for all your help!

I missed the bit about hiding NA try this

=IF(ISNA(INDEX('[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU -
Invoices'!A:A,MATCH(G48,'[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU -
Invoices'!F:F,FALSE),1)),"",INDEX('[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU -
Invoices'!A:A,MATCH(G48,'[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU -
Invoices'!F:F,FALSE),1))

Lots of line wraps and still one line.

Belinda,

You can't do left lookups with Vlookup you need index match. try this.

==INDEX('[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Invoices'!A:A,MATCH(G48,'[Bundled
Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Invoices'!F:F,FALSE),1)

Be careful of the line wrap it's all one line

I have data that needs to be transferred over from one month to the next - 2
seperate workbooks.

I wanted to use a vlookup formula to carry over the data:

VLOOKUP(G48,'[Bundled Report 06-08.xls]CAU - Invoices'!$A:$F,-6,0)

my problem is the field that needs to be populated is to the left of the
unique id field and using a negative sign doesnt work. Also moving the
columns isn't feasable. Also, if nothing is in the field I want it to leave
the field blank instead of putting #N/A

can I accomplish this with a different function?
