    Skip Error to return cell value

    Hi

    I have 5 columns (H:L) which contain basic vlookups to external sheets in my master file.

    What I would like please is in column M a formula which looks through each column and displays the cell which contains a non error.

    I have provided an example.

    Can anyone help please?

    Hi,

    It worked great for the majority of may data but I had issues with some.

    In the attached I have a car reg - it didn't like it with this reg.

    Any ideas why?

    The lookup value need to be more that lookup table

    "ZO" is more that "Z"

    Please try

    =LOOKUP("zzzz",H10:L10)

    or for sure

    =LOOKUP(CHAR(255),H10:L10)

    Thank you! I managed to get it to work with "zzzz" but not the last formula
