Trying to create a formula that will do the following:

If a1="1", then vlookup ...........or if A1="2" then vlookup......

Not enough information.

Vlookup what?

Where would this formula be entered?

Let's say for example we had Gord in B1

In C1 we enter =IF(A1=1,VLOOKUP(B1,table,colndx,false),"not equal 1")

Maybe this ; =IF(OR(A1=1,A1=2),vlookup,"")
This is just a example : =IF(OR(A1=1,A1=2),VLOOKUP(B1,C1:D12,2,FALSE),"")
You don't say what you want if no match, so I put "", this will leave the cell
blank.
If you put double quotes around your numbers, it will tell excel that those
numbers are text, not numbers.
