can I use =if with vlookup statements
I would like to use an if statement to fill in data in one column - I have 1
lookup table with 6 columns and a spreadsheet with multiple columns - basically I want to ask if a cell=13 go to my look up table"res type" A$2:$B$220 if not go to the same lookup table but go to E$2:$F$220 this is what I wrote but it is not working: =IF(S222=13,VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,6,FALSE),VLOOKUP(S222,'RES TYPE'!A$2:$B$220,2,FALSE)) I could really use some help - thanks |

Hi!
Try this: =IF(S222=13,VLOOKUP(S222,'RES TYPE'!A$2:$B$220,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,2,FALSE)) Biff "suzyque" wrote in message ...

can I use =if with vlookup statements
Thanks this works but now if the cell doesn't =13 I am getting #N/A - any
suggestions? - doesn't seem to be going to the other lookup "Biff" wrote: Hi!

I didn't try it, but it looks ok to me except that it would appear to do the
opposite of what you stated. if S222 = 13 then it will use VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,6,FALSE) The other thing is they are using different columns for the offsets (6 and 2), but that may be what you intended. Other than that, how is it not working? Ah, the 6 would be a problem because you are only looking in columns e:f. Either expand your lookup range or change the 6 to 2. -- Kevin Vaughn "suzyque" wrote: I would like to use an if statement to fill in data in one column - I have 1 lookup table with 6 columns and a spreadsheet with multiple columns - basically I want to ask if a cell=13 go to my look up table"res type" A$2:$B$220 if not go to the same lookup table but go to E$2:$F$220 this is what I wrote but it is not working: =IF(S222=13,VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,6,FALSE),VLOOKUP(S222,'RES TYPE'!A$2:$B$220,2,FALSE)) I could really use some help - thanks |

Well, it is doing the other vlookup but it is not finding the lookup value in
V222 (that is what #N/A means. The value being looked up was not found. Assuming you are using this from Biff's reply =IF(S222=13,VLOOKUP(S222,'RES TYPE'!A$2:$B$220,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,2,FALSE)) Check that the value you are entering in V222 (that is not 13) is in the range 'Restype'!E$2:$f220. If it appears that it is there, check it closer. There may be a space that you can't see that is causing it to be different than the value in V222. -- Kevin Vaughn "suzyque" wrote: Thanks this works but now if the cell doesn't =13 I am getting #N/A - any suggestions - doesn't seem to be going to the other lookup "Kevin Vaughn" wrote: I didn't try it, but it looks ok to me except that it would appear to do the opposite of what you stated. if S222 = 13 then it will use VLOOKUP(V222,'RES TYPE'!E$2:$F$220,6,FALSE) The other thing is they are using different columns for the offsets (6 and 2), but that may be what you intended.

can I use =if with vlookup statements
Slight change to this. The value being looked up was not in the range
E2:E220 (I said f220 previously, but it only checks the first column. In this instance it returns what's in column F.) -- Kevin Vaughn "Kevin Vaughn" wrote: Well, it is doing the other vlookup but it is not finding the lookup value in V222 (that is what #N/A means.

Thanks Kevin - does it make a difference if the data in S222 or V222 is the
result of a =right command - could that be throwing it off? Thanks for your time "Kevin Vaughn" wrote: Slight change to this.
