Doing a simple VLOOKUP on a cell to return a date from another worksheet

  • 0

Doing a simple VLOOKUP on a cell to return a date from another worksheet like below

=VLOOKUP(A46,'ECA AW12'!B92:AO133,15, 0)

Essentially, look up cell A46, and check it against B92:AO133 on the sheet ECA AW12, if true then return value of cell 15 on same row of table as match

However… what if A46 isn’t on that worksheet? It can appear in one of two spreadsheets.

I suppose logically addressing it, an function would be required to search for the value in the first spreadsheet, and if it isn’t there perform a VLOOKUP on the second sheet.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

    So you are looking for the ISERROR function in combination with IF.

    Would look like this

    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A46,'ECA AW12'!B92:AO133,15, 0)),        
    VLOOKUP(A46,'OtherWorksheet'!B92:AO133,15, 0),
    VLOOKUP(A46,'ECA AW12'!B92:AO133,15, 0),
