Nested Vlookups
I have two excel workbooks, one including data on current employees and one including data on terminated employees, both start with the employee No in the first column, I would like to make a vlookup on both files at the same time, so that for example when the employee # Im trying to vlookup is not found in the current employees file, the vlookup would look for it in the terminated employees files instead of just returning #N/A. Can it be something like this: if((vlookup(A1,current employees.xls,24,false),vlookup(A1,current employees.xls,24,false),vlookup(A1, terminated employees.xls,24,false)) -- TarekHamouda ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TarekHamouda's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33392 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=532160 |

After I posted I had this idea: =IF($A$1=1,VLOOKUP(A4,'[Master (Mar 06).xls]masTER'!$A:$D,3,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A4,'[Termfile (Mar 06).xls]terMFILE'!$A:$E,5,FALSE)) so by seting A1 cell to 1 OR 2 I can switch the values to read from two files. -- TarekHamouda ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TarekHamouda's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33392 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=532160 |

Hi,
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,Ref to Current employees Array,24,FALSE)),VLOOKUP(A1,Ref to Terminated Employees Array,24,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A1,Ref to Current employees Array,24,FALSE)) Regards, Bondi |
