V and H look up
 

When Look up returns #N/A as there is no exact match in the range. Is it
possible to leave the cell blank? ie is there an "IF" "THEN" "ELSE" type
function tha can be added to the look up formula?

V and H look up
 

One way:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(A1,J1:J100,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A1,J1 :K100,2,FALSE))

Thanks for the reply.

The formula I currently have is a simple =HLOOKUP($K$1,B3:H3,1,FALSE)

How would I re write this to match the formula suggested?

One way:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH($K$1,B3:H3,False)),"",$K$1)

or, alternatively

=IF(COUNTIF(B3:H3,$K$1),$K$1,"")


Note that a HLOOKUP with an index row of 1 can only return one of two
values: the value being looked up, or #N/A (assuming no errors in the
range that get passed through).

Many thanks JE McGimpsey. That works perfectly.

I owe you a beer or three
