    VLOOKUP ERROR - Getting #NAME? in 2003, but not 2010

    I am using the following formula in Excel 2010 and getting the data I want: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(C2,WC!F$4:I$281,4,FALSE),0). I sent the excel form out to others using Excel 2003 and there getting #NAME? in the cells instead of numbers. Some things I double checked are making sure I saved it as a "xls" file. I also made sure the cell formats of all cells matched. Other then that, I am not sure how to make it work for them. Any help would be awesome.

    Hi,

    IFERROR() isn't compatible with 2003.

    The IFERROR function is not available in Excel versions 2003 and earlier.

    This formula will work in any version of Excel:

    =LOOKUP(1E100,CHOOSE({1,2},0,VLOOKUP(C2,WC!F$4:I$281,4,0)))

    Another possibility...

    =SUMIF(WC!F$4:F$281,C2,WC!I$4:I$281)

    Thanks!

    Saves from having to do the lookup twice.
