Match formula on Excel not working - excel

I have the following formula in Excel.
=IF(ISERROR(MATCH(G1,$A$1:$A$62052,0)),"NO Match","Match")
The trouble is it only shows Match when the data matches and Match when the data does not match. What is wrong with my logic?

It appears that I am getting Match and No Match but because I am dealing with large columns there was a delay in the cell updating when I changed the a data cell in the G column. The formula works. Thanks for your time.

Why are you using ISERROR?
ISERROR will return FALSE if your formula does not return an error.
So if
MATCH(G1,$A$1:$A$62052,0)
doesn't return an error, the first argument will return FALSE, and the output will be 'Match'.
I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but I think you want
=IF(MATCH(G1, $A$1:$A$62052, 0), "NO Match", "Match")

ISERROR + VLOOKUP different results for empty cells

I was trying to make simple check of vlookup:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(B2;SA!C:K;2;FALSE));"Error";VLOOKUP(B2;SA!C:K;2;FALSE))
Issue is that i got two different results for two empty cells.
Error
and
0
All cells are with the same type: General. Do not see why this is different :/
I was expecting message in case of iserror = TRUE (cell is empty). This case "Error".
Sample file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jzoq9530qxtig38/ZZZ.xlsm?dl=0.
In C2 use the following formula:
=IFERROR(IF(LEN(INDEX(SA!$D:$K,MATCH($B2,SA!$C:$C,0),COLUMN(A1)))=0,"error",INDEX(SA!$D:$K,MATCH($B2,SA!$C:$C,0),COLUMN(A1))),"error")
Edit, since you don't really want to show "error" but "" instead, you could also try:
=IFERROR(INDEX(SA!$D:$K,MATCH($B2,SA!$C:$C,0),COLUMN(A1))&""),"error")
You are getting 0 because VLOOKUP found key, however the value next to it was empty.
To mark those as Error as well use:
=IF(LEN(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2;SA!C:K;2;FALSE);"Error"))=0;"Error";IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2;SA!C:K;2;FALSE);"Error"))

Match to return all values instead of just first in a column

I am trying to find all the cells that have the value 21 in the column AGE. I currently have the following formula which works fine with returning just the first TRUE value:
=MATCH(21,AGE,0)
However, it does not continue through the whole column to return the rest of the results. Any help will be extremely appreciated.
Use AGGREGATE like this:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($B$2:$B$7)/($B$2:$B$7=21),ROW(1:1))),"")
as it is dragged/copied down it will get the next in the line, until it finds no more, then it will fill the cell with "".

Excel Match function with IF and OR Statement

Hi there , I have this formula
=IFERROR(IF(MATCH(A2,G:G,0)*OR(MATCH(B2,G:G,0)),"Present",),"Absent")
What I want is to return Present if one of the email from Column A and B present in Column G.
The Formula Work with *And but its not working with *OR.
If there is no match, then Match() will return the #N/A error, which will be multiplied with the other Match() result and still return an error. Therefore, this formula will only have a non-error result if BOTH Match formulas return a proper value. That's not what you want, I assume.
You need a formula or function that does not resolve in an error if there is only one match for the two conditions.
One option is to encase each Match into an Iferror. Anonther option is to use Countif, along the lines of this:
=if(countif(G:G,A2)+countif(G:G,B2),"Present","Absent")
Countif returns 0 if nothing is found or a count of the items found. The zero will equal a FALSE in the IF statement, so if neither Countif finds anything, the FALSE argument of the IF function will fire. Bit if any of the two Countif functions find a match, the result will be a number greater than zero, so the TRUE part of the IF function will fire.
I made a formula using match and isnumber.
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2;G:G;0));"Present";IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(B2;G:G;0));"Present";"Absent"))
So if match number is value that means there are match in column G so then it will return Present, simple as that.

Vlookup returning false as value

I am trying in include an IF statement to say that if the cell says "PAINT" do one thing and if it says anything else, do another (VLOOKUP) If The cell says PAINT then it works as it should. However, if the cell says anything else then I get a value of "FALSE". I am new to VLOOKUP so I suspect that could very well be the problem.
Thank you
=IF(N20="Paint",P20-(VLOOKUP(B20,CODES!$F$2:$G$22,P20-(VLOOKUP(B20,CODES!$J$2:$K$22,2)))))
You will need to do something like
=IF(N20="paint",VLOOKUP(B20,CODES!$F$2:$G$22,2,0),VLOOKUP(B20,CODES!$J$2:$K$22,2,0))
At the end of your first VLOOKUP you need to specify which column to return the value from on your 'CODES' sheet, I've pointed to Col G by using '2' and '0' returns an exact match. Then close the 'True' VLOOKUP and start your False VLOOKUP

IF ELSE in excel -- check if a cell is null/empty

I am not programming in VBA. This is a simple excel spreadsheet. Essentially, I have a formula the finds the lowest price in a range of cells and returns its respective column title. It works fine. However, some ranges do not have any values at all. So, the cell that populates with the column header displays #N/A in this case.
What I need to do is check whether or not this happens. If the result is #N/A, I want the cell to show "No Values to Reference." I was thinking something along the lines of:
=IF(CELL != NULL, Display_Header, ELSE "No Bids to Reference")
OR
=IF(CELL = NULL, No Bids to Reference", ELSE Display_Header)
I have tried both NULL and #N/A but I am not sure how Excel handles these situations. That is, how Excel handles #N/A returns.
IF(INDEX($D$1:$M$1,MATCH(MIN(D3:M3),D3:M3,0))= "#N/A","No Bids To Reference", INDEX($D$1:$M$1,MATCH(MIN(D3:M3),D3:M3,0)))
Since you have only one calculation here, you can simply use an IFERROR:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$1:$M$1,MATCH(MIN(D3:M3),D3:M3,0)),"No Bids To Reference")
The IFERROR checks whether the expression evaluates to an error (it can be #N/A, #VALUE! or #REF!). If true, evaluate the next expression, otherwise return the first expression.
I would CTL+G, Special, and replace the values of all cells with formula errors.
