Default vlookup

I want to do a lookup on a cell that will return values from either one sheet
or another depending on what the lookup value is. Does anyone know how to do
this?

Hi,

To the best of my knowledge there isn't a simple multi-dimensional lookup,
however, if you only have 2 options then it's relatively straightforward.

=if([lookup #1],[lookup #2],[lookup #3])

whe
lookup #1 : is the intial lookup to decise which sheet you want to use to
get your final values
lookup #2 : is the lookup to get final values from result sheet 1
lookup #3 : is the lookup to get final values from result sheet 2.

If you have many options then it gets a bit more complicated but can be done.
Post up if this is the answer you need or if you need to choose from many
options.
