Hi,

I have a lookup formula like this:

=IF(ISERROR(IF($D1="ruth baybutt",HLOOKUP(A$3,ruth
baybut!F:N,3,0),HLOOKUP(A$3,sheet1!F:N,3,0))),0,IF ($D1="ruth
baybutt",HLOOKUP(A$3,ruthbaybutt!F:N,3,0),HLOOKUP( A$3,sheet1!F:N,3,0)))

So basically it is looking to see if cell d1 exists on the ruth baybut sheet
and if so looking up a formula on that sheet, if not then it is looking up
the formula on sheet1 instead.

Is there a quicker/smaller formula for doing this please?
