Default VLookup

i think i got the formula to work!

Marie-Lou,

Try

if(isna(vlookup[first]), vlookup[second],vlookpup[first])

It is a bit cryptic, the idea is if the first vlookup returns an error, use
the second, if it doesn't use the first.

Hope this helps

Wkr,

JP

I have a vertical lookup which is pulling information from another
worksheet
within the same workbook. I want to be able to have the formula look in
worksheet #1 and if it does not find it in that worksheet - go to
worksheet
#2 and do the same vertical lookup.

Can someone help me format this? Thanks!
