Default nested vlookup does not work

Hi,
I have the following situation:
We have a list with all personnel and a list with members of Pensionfund.
We need to indicate with "No" the empty records and the records with 4 which
means ex member. Where must I indicate the 4, if I put it with a comma before
the false it is invalid. the 4th column contains the values.
=IF(VLOOKUP(A936,'PF members'!A:D,4,4,FALSE)="","No","Yes")
Plse HELP. Thanks, Lupe

First, you have too many arguments in your VLOOKUP. I'm not clear on the
rest of what you want so can't assist further until it's clarified.

Try this:

=IF(OR(VLOOKUP(A936,'PF members'!A:D,4,0)={"",4}),"No","Yes")
