    #VALUE! Error in Combined IF and VLOOKUP Functions FORMULA

    Hello Everyone,

    The formula results in a #VALUE! error and it should result in a blank cell: It did result in a blank cell but when I added *(EK97/EK89) it was in error.

    =IF(EK50>32,"",VLOOKUP(EK50,'Low Intensity Pace Chart'!$D$153:$E$185,2,FALSE))*(EK97/EK89)

    Cell EK50 = 40

    When cell EK50 <=32, the formula works.


    Thank you!

    Patrick

    delivers #VALUE!

    It's because you're trying to multiply a text string and a number (and then divide by another number).

    Change the "" to 0 or something.

    Re: #VALUE! Error in Combined IF and VLOOKUP Functions FORMULA

    You have it this way, doing the math on the result of the IF, which may be a ""
    =IF(EK50>32,"",VLOOKUP(EK50,'Low Intensity Pace Chart'!$D$153:$E$185,2,FALSE))*(EK97/EK89)
    "" is not really blank, it's an empty TEXT string.
    Text*Number=#Value!


    Instead, Do the math on the result of the VLOOKUP, not on the result of the IF.
    =IF(EK50>32,"",VLOOKUP(EK50,'Low Intensity Pace Chart'!$D$153:$E$185,2,FALSE)*(EK97/EK89))

    JONMO1,

    Your solution worked! I had one parenthesis in the wrong place!

    And thanks to ben_hensel for your contribution as well.


    Thank you!
