    Using VLOOKUP to find value in dropdown list

    Hi all,
    Need some help with an issue I'm having.
    I have attached the worksheet below.

    The issue that I'm having is that when two different people are selected from the dropdown lists in cells C10 and C12, the "Batting" table (starting in D132) shows every other person as being "IN" (from cells E10:E30). Added to this, when numbers are added to cells K10:AD11, the "Batting" table shows all players as getting these scores. How can this be fixed?

    Thanks

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    Looks like you left off the last argument in VLOOKUP...
    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($D133,$C$10:$BN$31,3,0),"")
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
