application.worksheetfunction.vlookup
Hi
for the first time i'm using worksheet functions in vba and was surprised to find that k = application.worksheetfunction.vlookup(pipes(j),She ets("Database").Range("Pip e_Number"),2,0) shows k as empty rather than "erroring" or #NA .. i tried to get a handle on this in vba help but it didn't seem to explain this behaviour - can anyone explain to me why and, in some ways, more importantly how i can get "k" to "error" if the item isn't found? Thanks JulieD |

application.worksheetfunction.vlookup
Julie, when I try it certainly does error when the item is not found. I
would suggest that it does find the item in the 1st column but that the cell in the second column is empty and so this empty value is returned. This is not an error since the item is found.

Hi Julie
this happens if the item is not found. One way arround it: on error resume next kapplication.worksheetfunction.vlookup(...) if err.number<0 then k="Error" end if on error goto 0 msgbox k -----Original Message----- Hi for the first time i'm using worksheet functions in vba and was surprised to find that k = application.worksheetfunction.vlookup(pipes(j),Sh eets ("Database").Range("Pip e_Number"),2,0) shows k as empty rather than "erroring" or #NA .. i tried to get a handle on this in vba help but it didn't seem to explain this behaviour - can anyone explain to me why and, in some ways, more importantly how i can get "k" to "error" if the item isn't found?

Hi Fred
thanks for your reply ... now i know what i did ...(the light's just gone on!), the first half dozen or so times i ran it it did error and then i made some changes for another reason and populated lookup value column with the value prior to this bit of code, which is why it no longer errors out .... because, as you said, it is there, but the second column is blank. okay i might have to see if Frank's method will cause it to error out .... Thanks again JulieD "fred" wrote in message ... Julie, when I try it certainly does error when the item is not found.

Hi Frank
sorry haven't tried your code, (the workbook's at work), but just looking at it, doesn't this just set the value of k to the word "error", what i'm wanting to do is force it to have an error and drop to the error handling routine.

Another way is to use only application as the qualifier
Dim res as Variant res = Application.Vlookup() if iserror(res) then msgbox "Not found" Else msgbox "Value returned is " & res End if If you use worksheetfunction as the qualifier, then it returns a trappable error (1004 type error). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...
