Help with "if" statement formula
Have you tried putting your vlookups into an IF statement like -
if(vlookup(range,data,column,false)="#na","",vlook up(range,data,column,false )) This will only give a number as an answer or a "". Then your formula to pick up the value would be simple - like sum(4 cells) or max(4cells) or any one of a number of calculations. Chris "scott" wrote in message ... Hi folks. I have 4 cells and each containe a v-lookup formula. Only one of the 4 cells will ever contain a number, the other 3 will contain #n/a since I used the false statement in the v-lookup formula. Now I would like to have a formula that would pick whichever one of these 4 cells contain the number, and exclude the other 3. I have experimented with =if(a20,a2) and this works fine, but how to continue the formula to include B2, C2, and D2 is my question. Thanks |

Help with "if" statement formula
This would be a good solution although I just gave it a
try and am not having any luck. It is still returning the #n/a. I must be missing something. This is what I used: =IF(VLOOKUP(F4,'2BR SCALE'!A57:B99,2,FALSE) ="#N/A","",VLOOKUP(F4,'2BR SCALE'!A57:B99,2,FALSE)) The original formula was: =VLOOKUP(F4,'2BR SCALE'!A57:B99,2,FALSE) Thanks for your help. -----Original Message----- Have you tried putting your vlookups into an IF statement like - if(vlookup(range,data,column,false)="#na","",vloo kup (range,data,column,false )) This will only give a number as an answer or a "".
