help in If error
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($E$2,L:O,4,FALSE), "Not Avialable")
hi, I am using this (above) equation, to do lookups from 5 columns. the lookup thing is working but when there is nothing in the cell (that the function looking up) it returns 0 instead of "Not Available" (as in the equation). i want the function to show "Not available" when the cell is blank, or there is an error. thanks in advance |

IFERROR will return 'Not Available' only if VLOOKUP returns an error. It will
return the value VLOOKUP returns if there is no error... You may put an IF around it to check for 0 and return "Not Available"...
