Mutliple IF and vlookup

[araza123]

I feel like this is simple but I am missing something very easy here.

I am trying to plug in a formula which basically says IF a cell = something then vlookup, but i need to do this multiple times.

So for example the cell is a drop down with 3 options, so if it says "blue" then the vlookup is based of blue tab, but if it says "red" its based of a red tab.

this is what i have right now but am getting #value

=IF($A$3="Sales",VLOOKUP(A5,Sales!$A$43:$I$67,9,FALSE),"no")*$D$1,IF($A$3="Risk",VLOOKUP(A5,Fixed_Risk!$A$43:$I$67,9,FALSE),"no")*$D$1

thanks all

Thanks!

and if i wanted to add a third component to this drop would it it look like this?

=IFERROR(IF($A$3="Sales",VLOOKUP(A5,Sales!$A$43:$I$67,9,FALSE),IF($A$3="Risk",VLOOKUP(A5,Fixed_Risk!$A$43:$I$67,9,FALSE),IF($A$3="Legal",VLOOKUP(A5,Fixed_Legal!$A$43:$I$67,9,FALSE),0))*$D$1, "no"))


appreciate the help!

Yes, but this last bit needs an extra closing bracket: 0))*$D$1, = > 0)))*$D$1,
