Connie,
it is not an array formula, so no need for CSE. In omitting the 4th (optional) parameter for VLOOKUP, you are implying that the lookup table NIRAV is sorted - is this the case? If not then you should change the formula to: =IF(D163="Yes","",IF(VLOOKUP(C163,NIRAV,2,0)="","N ot Scheduled",VLOOKUP (C163,NIRAV,2,0))) and this forces the function to look for an exact match. Another area where problems might occur is that the number 12639 might be a text value in the table and a number in C163 - these need to match exactly. Hope ths helps.
