Problem with formula

Please Register to Remove these Ads

=IF(ISERROR((vlookup($A$2:$A$31,
Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14, 1, 0)), "Not Active", ((vlookup($A$2:$A$31,
Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14, 1, 0))).

Im using this formula to take names from one sheet and display on another sheet but when I put the formula in B2 Im not getting any results. Can someone help me please?

Your Vlookup formula can only read from ONE lookup value (reference cell) at a time... hence your formula in B2:

=IF(ISERROR((vlookup($A$2:$A$31,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0)), "Not Active",vlookup($A$2:$A$31,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0))).

should be:

=IF(ISERROR((vlookup($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0)),"Not Active",((vlookup($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0))).

then copy this down the range B3:B31. Each cell in 'B' will return either the matching value from Sheet2 or the "Not Active" text.

Note the change in the vlookup reference from $A$2:$A$31 to $A2. As you copy this down, the range will change in B3 to $A3, in B4 to $A4, etc.

I think there is a syntax error in the original formula, copy and paste this into B2:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0)),"Not Active",(VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$14,1,0)))


Does this work for you?
