    To many arguments when using If(ISERROR)

    Hello,

    I get a #N/A error when using this formula.

    =INDEX(LookupLists!$D$2:$D$55,MATCH(LinenData!C2,LookupLists!$B$2:$B$55,0))*E2

    In order to eliminate this error from displaying I have tried this

    =If(ISERROR(INDEX(LookupLists!$D$2:$D$55,MATCH(LinenData!C2,LookupLists!$B$2:$B$55,0))*E2,0,=INDEX(LookupLists!$D$2:$D$55,MATCH(LinenData!C2,LookupLists!$B$2:$B$55,0))*E2)

    I get a too many arguments error with this. What can I do to eliminate this error message #n/A.

    Thanks,

    LeapingLizard

    Re: To many arguments when using If(ISERROR)

    If you have Excel 2010 as written in your profile, you could use IFERROR instead.

    =IFERROR(INDEX(LookupLists!$D$2:$D$55,MATCH(LinenData!C2,LookupLists!$B$2:$B$55,0))*E2,0)

    Or you could take out the "=" floating in the middle of your formula to make ISERROR work.

    Why dont you use an iferror formula
    =iferror(INDEX(LookupLists!$D$2:$D$55,MATCH(LinenData!C2,LookupLists!$B$2:$B$55,0))*E2,"")

    Hope it helps

    You'd also need another parenthesis after the first *E2.

    Hi,

    Does the C2 value appear in B2:B55?

    Perhaps you'd better uploading the workbook.
