Validate Part Number in Cell
Hello, I have a spreadsheet with cells B11 through B65 with a 4 digit part number. Example, 4112. If a user enters a part number in cells B72 through B150 but that part number is not a valid par...
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B72,$B$11:$C$65,2,FALSE),"Invalid Part")
This works in my spreadsheet. Unfortunately from your initial post i didn't understand that there are part descriptions in range C11:C65 which you want to retrieve.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B72,$B$11:$C$65,2,FALSE),"Invalid Part")

Sorry one more thing. If Cells B72 through B150 have nothing in it, (no part number added) then the adjacent cells C72, etc. will be blank.
Ex. If I enter part number 4126 in cell B72 it displays the full part number, if not a valid part it gets the "invalid part" but if no number at all in B range then the C column is empty/blank until something is added.

=IF(ISBLANK(B72),"",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B72,$B$11:$C$65,2,FALSE),"Invalid Part"))
I entered this formula in C72 and copied it down to C150 and it works in my sheet.
- worked great! Thanks again.
