Ok, reconsidering things here, I guess you can just as easily have a
nested if statement which says... If(TRUE,If(),otherwise whatever) --
If right, then Sorry for posting unnecessarily.

I'm confused here before anyone else in the thread is..
I'm looking for the FIRST action to be taken if the FIRST IF is true...
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(K16,pr,3,FALSE)), What to do if true goes here,
But there is nothing spelled out to do !!
(then and only then) should come the (creating a NESTED IF STATEMENT)
if(iserror(VLOOKUP(K16,nonpr,3,FALSE)),"" <<< Ok, here I see the
action to be taken if the second If statement is TRUE..

Does anyone else see my reason for confusion?

Thanks in advance.

I get an 'you've entered too many arguements' error message with my formula
below. What do I need to do to get it to work?

I have 2 tables, PR and nonPR, and I want to add values together where the
left most strings match in each. If only one table contains the string then
take that value, if neither do then return a blank.

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(K16,pr,3,FALSE)),if(iserror(VL OOKUP(K16,nonpr,3,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(K16,nonpr,3,F ALSE)*1000,if(iserror(VLOOKUP(K16,nonpr,3,FALSE)), VLOOKUP(K16,pr,3,FALSE),VLOOKUP(K16,pr,3,FALSE)+(V LOOKUP(K16,nonpr,3,FALSE)*1000))))
