TYPE function
I have the following formula but it is not gving me the results I am looking
for: =IF(TYPE(VLOOKUP(V2,'thread lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)=16),1,VLOOKUP(V2,'thr ead lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)) The idea is to look for the value in V2 in my lookup table and if the result is #N/A then return the value 1, otherwise lookup the value in V2 in my lookup table. All this formula is returning is 1 for everything. Can anyone tell me where the formula is incorrect? Thanks |

Maybe,
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(V2,'Thread lookup'!R17:S24,2,FALSE)),1,VLOOKUP(V2,'Thread lookup'!R17:S24,2,FALSE)) Mike "Iriemon" wrote: I have the following formula but it is not gving me the results I am looking for: =IF(TYPE(VLOOKUP(V2,'thread lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)=16),1,VLOOKUP(V2,'thr ead lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)) The idea is to look for the value in V2 in my lookup table and if the result is #N/A then return the value 1, otherwise lookup the value in V2 in my lookup table.

One usual way is to use ISNA, viz:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(V2,'thread lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,0)),1,VLOOKUP(V2,'thread lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,0)) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 Downloads:17,000 Files:358 Subscribers:55 xdemechanik --- "Iriemon" wrote: I have the following formula but it is not gving me the results I am looking for: =IF(TYPE(VLOOKUP(V2,'thread lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)=16),1,VLOOKUP(V2,'thr ead lookup'!$R$17:$S$24,2,FALSE)) The idea is to look for the value in V2 in my lookup table and if the result is #N/A then return the value 1, otherwise lookup the value in V2 in my lookup table.
