need help with lookup function
WHEN USING VLOOKUP..... I am looking up an item in 2 different tables, however sometimes the item is not in both tables. When the one table does not have the item, excel returns a (n/a) entry. How do I program it to use a default value of 0 when no record is found??? =VLOOKUP(A2,WAUKREF!A2:S1000,18,0) +VLOOKUP(A2,WWREF!$A$2:$S$1000,18,0) I THOUGHT MAYBE "0" IN THE ARGUMENT, BUT IT IS NOT WORKING. IT IS BEING USED TO AUTO CALCULATE THE COMBINATION OF THE TWO FEILDS ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED -- wii ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wii's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33958 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=537340 |

Try this:
=if(isna(VLOOKUP(A2,WAUKREF!A2:S1000,18,0)),0,VLOO KUP(A2,WAUKREF!A2:S1000,18,0)) +if(isna(VLOOKUP(A2,WWREF!$A$2:$S$1000,18,0)),0,VL OOKUP(A2,WWREF!$A$2:$S$1000,18,0)) Should give you what you want - the lower case will convert to upper case once you type it in. Hope this helps. Pete |
