=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, C:D, 2, FALSE), "NO-REC")

As far as I have understood the problem definition correctly or have translated it, these formulas could help you.

 

This can be used to suppress the error message

ISNA(VLOOKUP($A$2,$C:$D,2,FALSE))

 

with this formula your desired text should be appear

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A$2,$C:$D,2,0))," NO-REC",VLOOKUP(A$2,$C:$D,2,0))

* Provided that I have correctly translated the formulas into English.

Thanks for stopping by and answering my query,

This formula will produce two output
1) #N/A
2) -
So need to provide condition based on my above two outputs
If #N/A or - occurs I need to do another lookup I don't know how to provide or or if condition in this scenario
an example file (without sensitive data) would be advantageous ... for you and for those who would like / are allowed to help

Really appreciating your efforts here , I need to implement in macro so must need formula for that second reason is if suppose my vlookup output has those two output I need to do another vlookup that's why I'm asking for formula so that will implement in my macro

@Nandhu19940 

 

=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9,1/(D2:D10=H4)/(E2:E10=I4),F2:F10),IF(ISTEXT(H4),H4,I4))

Precondition, that all cells are formatted / set to "Standard".
