Using LookUP
Hi,
If LOOKUP can't find the value I am looking for, it is giving the result from the next smallest value. But, if the LoopUp can not find matching, I just want either False or N/A. How do I get this? Please Help, Radha |
Radha, add a 4th argument FALSE to your formula, i.e.
=vlookup(a1,myrange,3,false) ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Radha" wrote in message ...

Sorry...should've explained. The FALSE tells Excel NOT to find the nearest
value, but to find the EXACT value. See: http://www.officearticles.com/excel/...soft_excel.htm ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Radha" wrote in message ...

Use Vlookup() with 0 or False ( for exact match) as the fourth argument.

You will have the option to require an exact match if you use the VLOOKUP
function instead of LOOKUP. On Tue, 27 Sep 2005 14:19:05 -0700, "Radha" wrote: Hi, If LOOKUP can't find the value I am looking for, it is giving the result from the next smallest value.
