    Vlookup 2 sheets and return values in rows

    Hello everyone,

    I could use a little help with an easy Vlookup problem. I'v searched but have not found exactly what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a very easy and simple formula to lookup values from sheet 1 in sheet 2 and 3. If it does not find the value in sheet 2 I would like it to look in sheet 3 where it will find it (or vice versa) and return certain cells. Sound simple but have been trying for a hour.

    Thank you in advance for your help

    enclosed is a sample file "Vlookup 2 sheets.xls"

    Bob

    I'm looking for a very easy and simple formula
    LOL, aren't we all. Try this formula in B5

    =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A5,Sheet2!$F$5:$F$14,0)) ,VLOOKUP(A5,Sheet2!$F$5:$I$14,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A5,Sheet3!$F$5:$I$14,2,FALSE))

    Does that work for you?

    Thank you Guru.....

    It worked great on the sample but it still took me a while to incorporate that into what I had. BUT IT WORKS. Thank you
