    VLOOKUP return value

    Hi all,

    I want my VLOOKUP to return the word "No" when it finds nothing, instead of #N/A. How do I do that?

    use IFERROR

    e.g.

    =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(....),"No")
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi Wetbean,

    Use following error handler:-

    =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(E12,H:I,2,0)),"No",VLOOKUP(E12,H:I,2,0))

    Replace VLOOKUP(E12,H:I,2,0) with your vlookup formula.

    Cheers
