I am using a lookup formula =lookup(2,1/(hbo!$b34:$h34>0),hbo!$34:$h34) in a summary report to find the current days sales data.
Is there a way to add an additional criteria to this lookup formula to ignore cells with "-" in them? The worksheet my formula is referencing has lot of these (blank cells are filled with "-" because of the formula populating this worksheet) so my lookup formula returns "-" when it finds them instead of the last value in the row it is searching.
Thank you.
Welcome to the forum.
Try this:
=LOOKUP(2,1/((hbo!$b34:$h34>0)*(hbo!$b34:$h34<>"-")),hbo!$34:$h34)

Yes, that works. Although it doesn't like negative numbers. I don't either but I need to show them.
Well, that’s not my fault! You already had the formula looking for matches that are bigger than 0.
Ooops! Right you are. Insert embarrassed emoji here.
Thank you for your help and prompt responses.
No worries!
