    IfError Vlookup Formula Not Working

    Hi

    I am trying to match values in three different spreadsheets in the same workbook. The formula that I have selected is =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,PO!B:B1,0),"no").

    Instead of returning the matching value, it is only returning the word no in every cell incorrectly. How can I modify the formula successfully so that the matching values are shown?

    Thank you Excel super-users!

    It will be difficult for us to tell you what is exactly wrong without having a sample workbook, but your range doesn't seem to be correct.

    You either use PO!B:B or PO!B1:B100 (the range you are actually looking in, 100 is just an assumption). Besides that you probably want col index number 1 (if you want a column that is before the value you are actually looking up you are better of using Index Match)

    Tried adding the complete column range but with same result. I don't know Index matching unfortunately. I can't see how to post an example of the formula in a workbook on this thread.

    You miss the comma, please try

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,PO!B:B,1,0),"no")

    This worked - one comma made all the difference! Thank you.
