Hey folks,
This is my first thread, so hopefully I can explain this well enough.
I have two columns of information in two tabs (see attached). The second column, "Cutover Phase", in the second tab is where this formula is fighting me.
The formula is:
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A3,CHECKLIST,MATCH($B$2,'Reference Tab'!$2:$2,FALSE))),"NOPE!",(VLOOKUP(A3,CHECKLIST,MATCH($B$2,'Reference Tab'!$2:$2,FALSE),FALSE)))
The VLookup references the instrument tag and finds in it the "Checklist" list on the first tab. I needed to add the Match function incase a user wanted to add a column between the "A" and "B" column (The attached example is just a small piece of a much bigger spreadsheet). I also have an ISNA function so it stands out incase the tag is deleted (Right now it says "NOPE!" until I can figure this out.
Even though it's the same formula is used, for instrument tags that start with "AT", it results in a NOPE! instead of the cutover phase number. And after some playing around, I noticed if I put in the letters a thru h, it doesn't work. But if I put the letter i and up in, it works!!
Why does it care what letter is in there? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
