VLOOKUP using FALSE returning blanks and #N/A
I'm doing a VLOOKUP using FALSE and when it does not find the value I'm
searching for it either returns an #N/A or it returns blank. I thought it was suppose to return a #N/A when it doesn't find the value; I don't understand why I'm getting blanks. Thank you. |
VLOOKUP using FALSE returning blanks and #N/A
Are the return values generated by formulas that might have a possible
return of blank ("")? What happens when you do this: A1 = the lookup value and your VLOOKUP formula returns a blank B1:B10 = first column of the lookup table Enter this formula somewhe =MATCH(A1,B1:B10,0) If the MATCH formula returns a number then the lookup value in A1 *does exist* in your lookup table. Another possibility... The lookup table contains empty cells so the result of the VLOOKUP is actually a 0 but you have display of 0 turned off? This would "appear" as a blank cell. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "dread" wrote in message ...
