    "Your Formula Missing a Parenthesis"

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    Again, I'm probably doing this wrong. I need to return the value, which is an approval date, from column N on sheet two when; a) there is a match between the referenced cell in sheet one and column G from sheet two and b) That matched item reads "APPROVED in column M. the above is what I tried & it gives me the "Your Formula Missing a Parenthesis" error. All attempts I've made at filling in the missing parenthesis keeps giving me the wrong result.

    Perhaps you wish:
    =IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(C8,'SHEET 2'!G:M,7,FALSE)="Approved",VLOOKUP(C8,'SHEET 2!G:N,8,FALSE),""),"")

    Re: "Your Formula Missing a Parenthesis"

    you left off the 2nd argument of the IFERROR, what to return if it's an error.
    presumeably you want to return "" in that case.

    The ,"" part you have in there is actually in the valueiffalse part of the IF (what to return if vlookup does not = "approved")

    Try
    =IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP(C8,'SHEET 2'!G:M,7,FALSE)="Approved",VLOOKUP(C8,'SHEET 2!G:N,8,FALSE),""),"")
