good day to everyone,
im working on this function
=IF(VLOOKUP(Y4,_CHECKOUTS,1,0)=Y4,"",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Y4,_CHECKOUTS,1,0),"ED"))
im trying to compare two things, if the number is in list of numbers in _checkouts it will return the number in y4 which this converts to "blank", the second part is if the number is not on the list _checkouts, it returns "ED" but im getting a #n/a
thanks in advance
hi HPIMICHAEL02. not sure what are are you doing. if you only need to check if the number exist, then use COUNTIF. VLOOKUP with the col_index_num as 1 will definitely return you the same value. so maybe:
=IF(COUNTIF(_CHECKOUTS,Y4),"Y4","ED")
or if there's something i dont understand, then editing your formula would go like:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Y4,_CHECKOUTS,1,0)),"ED","")
if all else fails, attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to make it clear what is needed. Include BEFORE/AFTER sheets if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Remember to desensitize the data.
