    Nesting VLOOKUP in an IF statement.

    I am trying to write a formula that uses both an if statement and a vlookup statement.

    It's for a house cleaning price list, with two sets of prices. I want the formula to say if the value in E7 is R, i want to lookup the value for the house in the second column. If the value in the cell is anything else, i want to lookup the value for the house in the third column.

    So in sense, my formula should look like =IF (E7=1,"=VLOOKUP(A10,'Clean Prices'!$A$2:$C$58,2,FALSE)","=VLOOKUP(A10,'Clean Prices'!$A$2:$C$58,3,FALSE)")

    But it doesn't work. Is it possible to nest a vlookup in an if statement?

    Should be:

    =IF (E7=1,VLOOKUP(A10,'Clean Prices'!$A$2:$C$58,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A10,'Clean Prices'!$A$2:$C$58,3,FALSE))
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    You don't need the quotes or the equal signs for your VLOOKUPS.

    substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

    Or =VLOOKUP(A10,'Clean Prices'!$A$2:$C$58,IF(E7="R",2,3),FALSE)
