Trying the formula, results in a #REF!

Hmmm...

Works just fine for me. However:

There also may be a situation where it would not be on either.

In that case, the formula would return #N/A. So, what result do you want
when the lookup value isn't on either sheet?

For the particular lookup value I'm using, that value in on the master
sheet.

I have this formula which refers to the Master Tab.

=VLOOKUP($B4,MasterTab!$H$21:$O$923,8,FALSE)

It usually works great, however, when the data is not found ( because
it's
on another worksheet ( Minor Tab!), I get a #N/A.

How can I re-write the formula that if the #N/A is produced, it does
the
Vlookup on the Minor tab! instead of the master tab!

Something like: If =VLOOKUP($B4,MasterTab!$H$21:$O$923,8,FALSE)
produces
a
#N/A, VLOOKUP($B4,MinorTab!$H$21:$O$923,8,FALSE, if not, use this
original
formula =VLOOKUP($B4,MasterTab!$H$21:$O$923,8,FALSE)

Thanks,

Steve
