    Vlookup with isnumber formula

    What's up!

    Question, trying to figure how I can do this. I am doing a Vlookup, some of the data is hh:mm:ss, some is text, some is not. So my formula is currently =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A8,'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500,10,FALSE)*1,"") - however, if ISNUMBER is true, it causes an error in the lookup. Is there a way I can make this formula, so if ISNUMBER = TURE, it just shows the value? and doesn't try and convert it to a number because it's already a number?

    I hope this makes sence.. Thanks in advance.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A8,IF(ISNUMBER('Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500),'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500,'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500*1),10,FALSE)*1,"")

    hA! Sweet - had to make a minor correction

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A8,IF(ISNUMBER('Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500),'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500,'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500*1),10,FALSE)*1,"") <-- FROM

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A8,IF(ISNUMBER('Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500*1),'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500,'Availability '!$B$3:$AH$4500*1),10,FALSE),"") <-- TO

    Re: Vlookup with isnumber formula

    Good day, I'd like to add a question about the same scenario except...

    I want to lookup a part number in a list, but use ISNUMBER(SEARCH("4-*",'Column'!$A2)) to pull specific data from the data column which contains various values. If the value starts with 4 in the data column it would pull that value and nothing else. I guess similar to match.

    THanks.

    Re: Vlookup with isnumber formula

    My apologies...

    I solved it - =IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("3-*",'[Book6]3'!$E:$E,1)),VLOOKUP($B3,'[Book6]3'!$A:$E,5,0),"")
