I have two worksheet named booklist and author.I am trying to get the Id of author from the worksheet author and use it in the boolist worksheet in the writer code column. I have written the formula like below-
=VLOOKUP(C2,author!A2:D419,1,0)
But it is not working kindly help me aht is wrong in this
It is showing error kindly help me to do that.
VLOOKUP() will not work in this case because vlookup always look for value in first column and return data from another column of corresponding row. You author sheet first column is ID and you are looking for writer name. So, it will never match. Try below formula instead.
=INDEX(author!$A$2:$A$500,MATCH(C2,author!$C$2:$C$500,0))
Or XLOOKUP() like-
=XLOOKUP(C2,author!$C$2:$C$500,author!$A$2:$A$500)

Excel Formula IF function with return blank if there is no Data
(1 answer)
Closed 10 months ago.
My current formula is:
=IF(AC52153<C52153,"PD","C")
the cells AC52153 and C52153 are dates
I have to add an additional if statement for when the cell AC52153 is blank to state "C"
So far I have come up with
=IF(AC52153<C52153,"PD","C" IF(ISBLANK(AC52153), "C")) but this gives me the error of too many arguments.
Try the below formula
=IF(ISBLANK(AC52153), "C",IF(AC52153<C52153,"PD","C" ))

I am trying to use :
VLOOKUP to get the value of the ID colum in the below image :
The formula returns #N/A error although the value exists!
The formula I am using is :
=VLOOKUP(J13,$C$2:$D$10,1,FALSE)
Need help resolving this please.
Thanks.
Use index() with match().
Vlookup() only works to the right of the indexing column.
So:
=index(C2:C10,match(J13,D2:D10,0))
Or you could do the lazy solution of swapping col C with Col D, but other formulae you have may then fail...

I want to lookup sheet 'Product' and grab the Approval status and input it into column B of sheet 'Non Variant'. Obviously matching the correct article number.
Snippet of Non Variant Sheet
Snippet of Product Sheet
Using INDEX(MATCH()) you'll get what you want, just set the range right:
=INDEX(Product!$A$4:$A$8,MATCH($A2,Product!$B$4:$B$8,0))
