    Smile Use VLOOKUP to then populate another cell with IF statement

    Hello, So I am new to using excel.

    I am pulling a value from another excel file using VLOOKUP, that can be anywhere from 1 to 6,000.

    Then Based off the value pulled for example let's say it's: 4,227 in cell A1

    I want to use and IF statement to populate another value in a different cell. I am currently using:

    It only outputs: 0

    Am I using the formula incorrectly? Do I have to attack this a different way? Thanks for any help.

    Firstly you need to remove all the = and ". But there is something wrong with the logic I think. Could you put your =IF() statements into words?

    Re: Use VLOOKUP to then populate another cell with IF statement

    Assuming whole numbers from 0 on could be in A1

    Try:

    =LOOKUP(A1,{0,501,1001,2001,4001},{5,10,25,30,40})
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Yeah only whole numbers from 0 on could be in A1.

    I gave it a try and it comes up: #N/A

    Re: Use VLOOKUP to then populate another cell with IF statement

    How about?

    =LOOKUP(A1+0,{0,501,1001,2001,4001},{5,10,25,30,40})
