IF and Lookup Function

[Ivabanovich]

Hi Guys,

I have sheets. Sheet "Vehicle Register" and "Trucks".

In the "Vehicle Register" sheet I have registration numbers in column A and Vehicle Type in column B. I need to on the "Trucks" sheet get the registration number if "Truck" is in Column B. The normal IF function leaves me with #N/A if I get to a row that has "Machine" in it. So what I need to know is how do I skip "Machine" and lookup the next "Truck" value without it returning a blank or error


"Vehicle Register" sheet 

Column A   Column B

A1524         Truck

A1525         Truck
B1111          Machine
A1526          Truck


Required result on "Trucks" sheet

Column A

A1524

A1525
A1526

=IFERROR(INDEX('Vehicle Register'!$A$2:$A$5,SMALL(IF('Vehicle Register'!$B$2:$B$5="Truck",ROW('Vehicle Register'!$1:$4)),ROW('Vehicle Register'!1:1))),"")

You can try this formula. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office365 or Excel 2021.

If you have Excel 2019 or later you can apply FILTER function.
