vlookup
I have a spreadsheet that has employees with pay grades, SR01 all the way
through SR15. I have a vlookup that looks for this in my paygrade range that has SR01 next column the amt. (=vlookup,b2,paygrade,2). The problem, I have some top officials listed, but with a pay grade not in my pay grade range so it brings back the last one, so if I have SR15 $1980 as the last one in the range, and an official with a pay grade range SR18 it brings back the last one in my list which is the amt for SR15. Is there something else I need to add to the vlookup formula that if it doesn't find a match to bring back a N/A or 0? Thanks, |

vlookup
Try,
=VLOOKUP(B2,paygrade,2,FALSE) False ensures it only finds exact matches Mike "Pammy" wrote: I have a spreadsheet that has employees with pay grades, SR01 all the way through SR15.

vlookup
If you want something a bit more informative try:-
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B2,paygrade,2,FALSE)),"That salary grade cannot be found",VLOOKUP(B2,paygrade,2,FALSE)) Mike "Pammy" wrote: I have a spreadsheet that has employees with pay grades, SR01 all the way through SR15.
