    Amend VLOOKUP formula to check if a cell is empty and if so perform VLOOKUP

    Hi,

    Can anyone please advise me on how to amend the syntax of my formula to check first to see if there is a value in cell ‘O2’ i.e. not empty/blank
    If the cell ‘O2’ is empty/blank then perform the Vlookup otherwise display the cell as empty/blank.


    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(N2,'SR Cross Ref '!B:L,2,FALSE),"")

    Many thanks in advance

    Regards

    Rob

    =IF(O2="",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(N2,'SR Cross Ref '!B:L,2,FALSE),""),"")

    OR

    =IF(ISBLANK(O2),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(N2,'SR Cross Ref '!B:L,2,FALSE),""),"")
