I currently have my Vlookup stmnt as this:

=IF(E2="","",VLOOKUP(E2,'Code Descrip'!T$3:U$27,2,FALSE))

'Code Decrip' is the name of the worksheet
I need to add another range X$3:Y48
What is the proper syntax - I wasnt able to get it right after searching
online for it.
Thanks so much.

Hi lpj

Not quite clear what you want to achieve here?

Why not have everything in the same range?

Am I correct in guessing that, if you do not find a matching record in the
primary range, you then want to do a lookup in the secondary range? If so,
you will have to use an If(OR( statement, to first look at the primary range,
and then, if you do not find anything there, do a VLOOKUP in the secondary
range. You will therefore have to test the primary range for an error
condition, and if the error condition exists, then look at the secondary
range, else look at the primary range. Again, why not put the whole lot in
one range?

Thanks for the reply! The reason I can't put it all in the same range is bc
this is an existing worksheet (which can't be modified) and there are some
columns of data in btwn that shouldn't be referrenced - they could create
duplicates or give invalid results back.

Duplicates or invalid values - to say the value of the lookup field could
exist in 2 cells (i.e. T3 and V3, I would only want the returned value for
T3 NOT V3). that's why i can't have an one entire range :)

Hi Kassis,

I this a typo on the first line?

=IF(E2="","",IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP('Code

How would i nest another 1 or 2 ranges in there? I'm looking at this syntax
but not getting very far - can i use 'or' operators? thanks again for your

just wanted to add - i looked up ctl+sht_enter (array enter the formula), and

still getting not getting the results expected (unless the value is null,

The formula should be as follows...

=IF(E2<"",VLOOKUP(E2,CHOOSE(MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OF FSET(T3:U27,,{0,4,9,14}
,{25,46,132,67}),E2)0,0),T3:U27,X3:Y48,AC3:AD134, AH3:AI69),2,0),"")

If you have no other data below your tables and you want to use whole
column references, use the following formula instead...

=IF(E2<"",VLOOKUP(E2,CHOOSE(MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OF FSET(T:U,,{0,4,9,14}),E
2)0,0),T:U,X:Y,AC:AD,AH:AI),2,0),"")

Both these formulas need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not
just ENTER. In other words, after typing the formula, instead of
pressing just ENTER, hold the CONTROL+SHIFT keys down and while those
two keys are pressed down press ENTER. Excel will automatically place
braces {} around the formula which will indicate that you've entered it
correctly.

i dont know - still having problems - could this be bc the name of the sheet
these tables are on is no longer in the formula? 'Code Descrip'? because
where this formula is going is not on that sht (code descrip). thanks so muxh

Yea - that is def. the issue - not having the sheet name in the formula (bc i
tested it - putting the lookup info on the same sheet) - how would i go about
getting it in the formula? i looked at our previous posts but not getting far
as the formula (and its syntax) has changed quite some. thanks again!

The formula should be as follows...

=IF(E2<"",VLOOKUP(E2,CHOOSE(MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OF FSET(T3:U27,,{0,4,9,14}
,{25,46,132,67}),E2)0,0),T3:U27,X3:Y48,AC3:AD134, AH3:AI69),2,0),"")

If you have no other data below your tables and you want to use whole
column references, use the following formula instead...

=IF(E2<"",VLOOKUP(E2,CHOOSE(MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OF FSET(T:U,,{0,4,9,14}),E
2)0,0),T:U,X:Y,AC:AD,AH:AI),2,0),"")

Both these formulas need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not
just ENTER. In other words, after typing the formula, instead of
pressing just ENTER, hold the CONTROL+SHIFT keys down and while those
two keys are pressed down press ENTER. Excel will automatically place
braces {} around the formula which will indicate that you've entered it
correctly.

HI Domenic -
unfortunately i still can't get this working, even with my modifications. I
don't receive an error msg just doesn't find a match (N/A#). My table ranges
a T3:U27, X3:Y48, AC3:AD134, AH3:AI69
This is the statement, after the modifications:

=IF(E2<"",VLOOKUP(E2,CHOOSE(MATCH(TRUE,COUNTIF(OF FSET(T3:U27,,{0,4,5,5}
,{25,46,132,67}),E2)0,0),T3:U27,X3:Y48,AC3:AD134, AH3:AI69),2,0),"")

Sorry! I forgot about the sheet reference. But I'm glad you've got it
sorted out.

Cheers!
