=IF(VLOOKUP($E5;$'S_BIP Purchase'.$G$3:$H$35;2;0)="PWP";SUMIFS($'S_BIP Purchase'.$L$3:$L$35;$'S_BIP Purchase'.$G$3:$G$35;$E5))
Problem:
This formula works but it returns an #n/a. Can you please help me rephrase or enhance the formula so that it returns 0 instead of #n/a? I am using an openoffice calc
=IFERROR(IF(VLOOKUP($E5;$'S_BIP Purchase'.$G$3:$H$35;2;0)="PWP";SUMIFS($'S_BIP Purchase'.$L$3:$L$35;$'S_BIP Purchase'.$G$3:$G$35;$E5));"0")
IFERROR allows you to pick the value of the cell you want in case the formula returns error. IFERROR(Formula;Value)

I want a formula that, if the first or second cell is similar to the third, return 1, and if not, return 0, and if the cell is empty, return 0
I tried this formula and it was correct to some extent, but the only thing I want is that it returns 0 in the following empty or blank cells as well.
You can use this Formula
=IF(OR(AND(A1="",B1=""),C1=""),0,IF(OR(A1=C1,B1=C1),1,0))
I am using a VLOOKUP formula between two sheets to get a value. However, I want to return another value from a different column if my VLOOKUP returns 0 or #N/A. I have tried something like this, but it is still giving me either 0 or #N/A.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,Sheet1!B1:C100,2,FALSE),Sheet1!A2)
The data I want to return if my VLOOKUP returns 0 or #N/A is in column A.
Try this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!C$1:C$100,MATCH(B2,Sheet1!B$1:B$100,0)),Sheet1!A2)
Now include the requirements:
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2,Sheet1!B$1:B$100,0)),IF(INDEX(Sheet1!C$1:C$100,MATCH(B2,Sheet1!B$1:B$100,0))=0,Sheet1!A2,INDEX(Sheet1!C$1:C$100,MATCH(B2,Sheet1!B$1:B$100,0))),Sheet1!A2)
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AS:AS,'Data'!B:G,6,FALSE),"")
This formula outputs value 0 when there is no item to vlookup in column AS:AS, How do I avoid the 0, to output only blank?
Try passing in NA if the cell value be missing:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(IF(AS:AS="",NA(),AS:AS),'Data'!B:G,6,FALSE),"")
The idea here is that empty cells would pass #N/A to VLOOKUP thereby causing an error, and causing the error message to print (in your case you have chosen empty string).
A formula will always output 0 from a blank cell.
You can fix it by:
Use cell formatting such as 0;-0;;#
Use =T(...) if you're expecting text
I'd advise you to use a single cell as a lookup value and the specific range for your lookup array so that there's no possibility of the formula returning zero unless that's a valid result from your table, e.g. in row 2 copied down if required
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(AS2,'Data'!B$2:G$100,6,FALSE),"")
How can I change the #NA to 0 in this function. As is, it's returning #NA, which is correct. But I want it to return 0 instead.
=VLOOKUP(R11,Lookup!$Z$2:$AB$332,2,0)
Where VLOOKUP is applied with its fourth parameter 0 (FALSE):
If an exact match is not found, the error value #N/A is returned.
But this can be detected (trapped) within a formula and an alternative result shown instead of #N/A. This alternative could be almost anything but OP has chose 0 so:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(R11,Lookup!$Z$2:$AB$332,2,0),0)
In early versions of Excel IFERROR is not available but, though longer, an alternative is:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(R11,lookup!$Z$2:$AB$332,2,0)),0,VLOOKUP(R11,lookup!$Z$2:$AB$332,2,0))
In Excel we have the VLOOKUP function that looks for a value in a column in a table and then returns a value from a given column in that table if it finds something. If it doesn't, it produces an error.
Is there a function that just returns true or false depending on if the value was found in a column or not?
You could wrap your VLOOKUP() in an IFERROR()
Edit: before Excel 2007, use =IF(ISERROR()...)
You still have to wrap it in an ISERROR, but you could use MATCH() instead of VLOOKUP():
Returns the relative position of an
item in an array that matches a
specified value in a specified order.
Use MATCH instead of one of the LOOKUP
functions when you need the position
of an item in a range instead of the
item itself.
Here's a complete example, assuming you're looking for the word "key" in a range of cells:
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH("key",A5:A16,FALSE)),"missing","found")
The FALSE is necessary to force an exact match, otherwise it will look for the closest value.
Just use a COUNTIF ! Much faster to write and calculate than the other suggestions.
EDIT:
Say you cell A1 should be 1 if the value of B1 is found in column C and otherwise it should be 2. How would you do that?
I would say if the value of B1 is found in column C, then A1 will be positive, otherwise it will be 0. Thats easily done with formula: =COUNTIF($C$1:$C$15,B1), which means: count the cells in range C1:C15 which are equal to B1.
You can combine COUNTIF with VLOOKUP and IF, and that's MUCH faster than using 2 lookups + ISNA. IF(COUNTIF(..)>0,LOOKUP(..),"Not found")
A bit of Googling will bring you tons of examples.
We've always used an
if(iserror(vlookup,"n/a",vlookup))
Excel 2007 introduced IfError which allows you to do the vlookup and add output in case of error, but that doesn't help you with 2003...
You can use:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(lookup value,table array,column no,FALSE)),"FALSE","TRUE")
ISNA is the best function to use. I just did. I wanted all cells whose value was NOT in an array to conditionally format to a certain color.
=ISNA(VLOOKUP($A2,Sheet1!$A:$D,2,FALSE))
