VLOOKUP merge documents, copy-paste special...
Hi, I have an equation that is getting the data from the 2nd column of a new
data workbook, after comparing a column in my workbook to the 1st column of new data book. The problem with is cannot get ISNA to work in conjunction with, so n/a's do not show. Have: =VLOOKUP(V124,[file.xls]sheet!$A$1:$B$3355,2,FALSE) gets 1st column into old doc fine, but I can not seem to use an IF in front of, to exclude a couple of items (to mention again, can't get rid of N/A..) =IF(OR(V124={"",".",".sym."}),"", does not work, hope enough info.. thanks |

Just use
=IF(ISNA(lookup_formula),"",lookup_formula) -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "nastech" wrote in message ...

You could also use
=IF(V124={"",".",".sym."},"",VLOOKUP(V124,[file.xls]sheet!$A$1:$B$3355,2,FAL SE) which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not just Enter. -- HTH Bob Phillips (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "nastech" wrote in message ...
