VLookups Across Mulitple Table Arrays
Is there a way to do a vlookup using mulitple table arrays? I tried, and
couldn't get it to work, but maybe I wasn't doing it the right way... |

Do you mean to look in one table and if it isn't there look in another
one, and so on? If so, here's a generic approach, but you'll need to fill in the details yourself: =IF(ISNA(vlookup(on_table1)),IF(ISNA(vlookup(on_ta ble2)),"not present",vlookup(on_table2)),vlookup(on_table1)) Hopefully, you can see the symmetry if you want to apply it to more tables. Hope this helps. Pete On Jul 16, 6:30 pm, Elise148 wrote: Is there a way to do a vlookup using mulitple table arrays?

Well, what I'd like to do is check a table in 11 different sheets for a
specific account number and have a formula add all the amounts in a column that relate to that account...

No, I would need to have the vlookup check about 11 different tables and add
up what it finds in all of the tables for the assigned value...any ideas? "Pete_UK" wrote: Do you mean to look in one table and if it isn't there look in another one, and so on?

Sounds like you want to do a SUMIF across multiple sheets.
Try this: Make a list of your sheet names in say, A1:A11. This will sum B1:B10 if A1:A10 on any of the sheets listed contain the account number XX: =SUMPRODUCT(SUMIF(INDIRECT("'"&A1:A11&"'!A1:A10"), "XX",INDIRECT("'"&A1:A11&"'!B1:B10"))) If the account number is a numeric number like 9999 do not enclose it in quotes. If the account number is an alpha-numeric like X99C then do enclose it in quotes. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Elise148" wrote in message ...
