    Long formula using IFERROR and VLOOKUP returning #NAME?

    Hi, back again and still hoping one day I know enough to offer help and not just ask for it.

    Trying to use this:
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A1,'[Academies & Foundation Spreadsheet.xlsx]Nurseries'!$A:$Q,2,FALSE),IFERRROR(VLOOKUP($A1,'[Academies & Foundation Spreadsheet.xlsx]Primaries'!$A:$Q,2,FALSE),IFERRROR(VLOOKUP($A1,'[Academies & Foundation Spreadsheet.xlsx]Secondaries'!$A:$Q,2,FALSE),IFERRROR(VLOOKUP($A1,'[Academies & Foundation Spreadsheet.xlsx]Specials'!$A:$Q,2,FALSE),IFERRROR(VLOOKUP($A1,'[Academies & Foundation Spreadsheet.xlsx]PRUs'!$A:$Q,2,FALSE),0)))))

    it returns a value from the first reference sheet 'Nurseries' but if it cannot find it on that sheet, it returns a #NAME? error. Any clues?

    You have used IFERRROR containing 3 R's various times in your formula - replace with IFERROR with 2 R's

    I think I responded to you in the past. You have IFERRROR (i.e. 3 Rs) in a few places.

    Hope this helps.
