    Good afternoon diesel20056

    can this be done
    Nope, 'fraid not. Best I can offer is that you set up conditional formatting on the cells containing the VLOOKUP formulae applying the same conditions.

    Use the paintbrush icon and paste the same conditioning from your data sheet to your vlookup data
