VLOOKUP problem
I have a formula
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,region,2)), "Unknown", VLOOKUP(A1,region,2)) Value of A1 is 'REPOFSERBIA' Output of the formula gives me 'Northern Europe' instaed of 'Southern Europe' . Looks like Country 'Qatar' is causing problem. What's the problem with formula ? Region is defined as Country Region REPOFSERBIA Southern Europe ALGERIA Africa ARGENTINA Latin America AUSTRALIA Pacific AUSTRIA Northern Europe BANGLADESH Northern Europe BELGIUM Southern Europe BRAZIL Latin America CANADA Canada CHINA FarEast COLOMBIA Latin America COSTA RICA Latin America CZECH REPUBLIC Northern Europe DENMARK Northern Europe EGYPT Africa ENGLAND Northern Europe FINLAND Northern Europe FRANCE Southern Europe GERMANY Northern Europe GREECE Southern Europe GUATEMALA Latin America HONG KONG FarEast INDIA Northern Europe INDONESIA FarEast IRELAND Northern Europe ISRAEL Northern Europe ITALY Southern Europe JAPAN FarEast JORDAN Northern Europe KOREA FarEast KUWAIT Northern Europe MALTA Southern Europe MEXICO Latin America MEXICO Latin America MICRONESIA Pacific NETHERLANDS Northern Europe NEW ZEALAND Pacific NIGERIA Africa NORWAY Northern Europe OMAN Northern Europe PAKISTAN Northern Europe PANAMA Latin America PHILIPPINES Northern Europe POLAND Northern Europe PORTUGAL Southern Europe PUERTO RICO Latin America QATAR Northern Europe ROMANIA Northern Europe Russia Southern Europe SAUDI ARABIA Asia SINGAPORE FarEast SLOVENIA Northern Europe SOUTH AFRICA Africa SPAIN Southern Europe Sri Lanka Asia SWEDEN Northern Europe SWITZERLAND Northern Europe SYRIA Asia TAIWAN FarEast THAILAND FarEast THE NETHERLANDS Northern Europe TRINIDAD Latin America TURKEY Asia UNITED ARAB EMI Asia United Kingdom Northern Europe United States Local USA Local VENEZUELA Latin America VIRGIN ISLANDS Latin America YUGOSLAVIA Northern Europe |

VLOOKUP problem
You're probably trying to do an EXACT lookup..
in which case you need to set the 4th argument of the VLOOKUP function to 0 or false... you've left it out and then it defaults to true... keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool "Shashi Bhosale" wrote: I have a formula =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,region,2)), "Unknown", VLOOKUP(A1,region,2)) Value of A1 is 'REPOFSERBIA' Output of the formula gives me 'Northern Europe' instaed of 'Southern Europe' .
