I am doing a vlookup in Excel 2016. If my input value is not in the list, I want to report an error (rather than going to the closest match). How would I do that?
thanks, Randy

Here is a generic example
=VLOOKUP(LOOKUP VALUE,TABLE ARRAY,COLUMN INDEX NUMBER, FALSE) the FALSE will force the VLOOKUP to search for an EXACT match. If an exact match isn't found, a #N/A error is returned.

Not sure what you wrote but this should do it for you... =VLOOKUP(A2,lookup range,#columns over,false)
Should return #N/A if the value isn't there.

Change
VLOOKUP(X,Table,N)
or
VLOOKUP(X,Table,N,TRUE)
or
VLOOKUP(X,Table,N,1)
that you might have, to just:
VLOOKUP(X,Table,N,0)
use index match
Try this...
Data Range
This formula entered in E2:
=VLOOKUP(D2,A2:B5,2,0)
