    First test what gets returned if $L$2 cannot be found by putting in a value you know is not in the search set. For example if it returns 0 then:

    =IF(VLOOKUP($L$2,sheet2!$A$2:$G$169,6,0) = 0, "invalid", VLOOKUP($L$2,sheet2!$A$2:$G$169,6,0))

    If it returns an error then try something along the lines of

    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($L$2,sheet2!$A$2:$G$169,6,0)), "invalid", VLOOKUP($L$2,sheet2!$A$2:$G$169,6,0))

    or just

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($L$2,sheet2!$A$2:$G$169,6,0), "invlaid")
