Avoid #N/A error

**bunzo** · 08-17-2010, 05:49 PM

I have a football league table and am using the below formula to update the scores. It's based on 2 worksheets; 1 called "fixtures and results" and another called "results".

=IF(INDEX(Results!$D$2:$D$400,MATCH('Fixtures and Results'!$D4&'Fixtures and Results'!$G4,Results!$A$2:$A$400&Results!$B$2:$B$400,0))="","",INDEX(Results!$D$2:$D$400,MATCH('Fixtures and Results'!$D4&'Fixtures and Results'!$G4,Results!$A$2:$A$400&Results!$B$2:$B$400,0)))

I would like to modify the formula to leave the cells blank if it doesn't find the game in the "results" worksheet e.g if I have arsenal vs chelsea in the "fixtures and results" worksheet, the above formula will look for "arsenal vs chelsea" in the "results" worksheet. If it doesn't find it it returns "N/A". To avoid the "N/A" I have to list all the games for the season and I want to avoid that by simply having a formula that returns a blank if it doesn't find the game listed.

Hi,

It would be easier to be certain with sight of the workbook, but as I see you have Excel 2007 something like the following perhaps...
