Nested VLOOKUP in IF statement
Hi all,
This is my very simple nested IF statement. =IF(H5=$C$2,"=VLOOKUP(H4,$B$5:$C$11,2,FALSE)",0) Basically, I want the VLOOPKUP function to "work" when the value is false, instead, it prints the actual formula in the cell as a value. Any clues here? Thanks in advance. |

remove the "=" before the function vlookup.
When there is a function inside the other function you should not use = sing. |
Nested VLOOKUP in IF statement
try this
=IF(H5=$C$2,0,VLOOKUP(H4,$B$5:$C$11,2,FALSE)) Anything between quotes is treated as a text string, so it prints the formula instead of evaluating it. Also the VLookup was in the True argument of the IF statement. Mike F wrote in message ...
