Error message
 

Hello,

I have the following issue. I have created two worksheets (ws). The first
one contains several individual bonds with in the adjacent columns price
information, yields, and so on. In the second one I have made a list
(validated) which refers to the list of bonds in the first ws. When I choose
a bondtitle in the second ws, I would like to get the price, yield and so on
which correspond to the chosen title in the adjacent columns. When I use the
following formula I get an error message:

=VLOOKUP($B9;Data!$A:$W;COLUMN(Data!Q18);FALSE)

$B9 = Bondtitle
Data!$A:$W=matrix (first ws)
COLUMN(Data!Q18) = column in first ws with the prices of the individual bonds

The matrix is not sorted, so I use the False component. Does anyone have a
clue why I get an error message.

Thanx.

Hi,
try
=Sumproduct(--(Data!$A:$W=B9),--(Data!Q:Q))

I have a Dutch excel version. The error message is: #N/B. I think the
equivalent in English will be #N/A. Leaving False out of the formula results
in one of the prices of the bond list but not the one which corresponds with
the chosen title.

Hi

Then the error is created because the name of that Bond doesn't exist in the
list.
Perhaps there are some extra spaces either in the cell B9, or in the list
in column A of Data.

If the name of the bond is in Data, then check the length of its cell and
compare with the length of cell b9
=LEN(B9)

Hi,

I checked the length of the cells, they are the same. I didn't expect this.
With Data- validation I created the list in the second ws. While this list
makes use of the names in the 1st ws there shouldn't be any difference. The
lenght check confirms this. I created this list with validation because when
I change in the 1st ws this change will also be in the validation list of the
2nd ws. Maybe, this is not the proper way to day. I hope there any other
possibilities.

Kind regards,

Noepie
