Vlookup with either/or
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out with what should be an easy task, but I can't quite get it. I'm trying to do a Vlookup for 2 columns (either/or) using this formula: =VLOOKUP(OR(A18,B18),data1,4,FALSE) where 'data1' is my array on a separate sheet. It works fine for a single vlookup, but no luck using the 'or' function. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance for any replies. Terry |

Vlookup with either/or
This not an allowed syntax.
You need 2 VLOOKUPs. You 'll also have to think about which one has "the right of way". You can check for no match with the ISNA() function. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel wrote in message ... | Hi, | I'm hoping someone can help me out with what should be an easy task, | but I can't quite get it. | I'm trying to do a Vlookup for 2 columns (either/or) using this | formula: | | =VLOOKUP(OR(A18,B18),data1,4,FALSE) | | where 'data1' is my array on a separate sheet.
