Nested IF with a VLOOKUP?

    Nested IF with a VLOOKUP?

    I have 2 workbooks: stores.xls and sales.xls. Both sheets have a column that
    contain a store number. stores.xls also has gross sales listed in column F.

    The formula will reside in sales.xls (column G for each row). What I need to
    do is compare [sales.xls]A2 to column C in stores.xls and find a match. After
    it finds a match, I need it to return cell F [stores.xls] in the same row.

    Because there are some cells that will be a null value, I need them to
    return blank.

    I was thinking that this would be a nested IF statement with a VLOOKUP, but
    I wasn't sure if that was efficient or the only way. Please help if you have
    any ideas.

    Thanks!

    hi Plunk,

    =if(iserror(vlookup([sales.xls]sheet1!a2,[stores.xls]sheet1!c2:f1000,3,0)),"",vlookup([sales.xls]sheet1!a2,[stores.xls]sheet1!c2:f1000,3,0))

    Hi,

    This might help you:

    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(.....)),"",VLOOKUP(.....))

    If the function has some error in it, if will return an empty cell
    otherwise the corresponding value for the VLOOKUPed value.

    Thanks.

    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,[stores.xls]Sheet1!$C$1000:$F$1000,4,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(
    A2,[stores.xls]Sheet1!$C$1000:$F$1000,4,FALSE))

    Marcelo - I believe your vlookup's column index number should be 4:

    =if(iserror(vlookup([sales.xls]sheet1!a2,[stores.xls]sheet1!c2:f1000,4,0)),"",vlookup([sales.xls]sheet1!a2,[stores.xls]sheet1!c2:f1000,4,0))
