How to make VLOOKUP return multiple error values
Hi all
Not sure if this is possible, but what I am trying to do is a regular VLOOKUP with the caveat that:
- Where the lookup value is an empty cell, instead of N/A, the formula returns "Unknown"
- Where the lookup value is missing from the table array, but is NOT an empty cell, the formula returns N/A (as usual.)
So far I have only been able to use an IFERROR to pull back "Unknown" for all missing values in the table array.
Is this even possible?
Many thanks 🙂
Let's say you have
=VLOOKUP(A2, $F$2:$G$100, 2, FALSE)
Change this to
=IF(A2="", "Unknown", VLOOKUP(A2, $F$2:$G$100, 2, FALSE))
