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

I'm goofing a bit on the syntax here.
But in most basic terms, if sheet 'CT', column B has a corresponding lookup value in column B of sheet 'CT WKSHT' AND column K of 'CT WKSHT' is N/A (this cell is a formula that will not always have a value) then I want to populate a 1 else a 0.
The formula below is sort of conceptually what I'm trying to do, but I'm not doing this right clearly.
Please help if you can, as I get stuck when I think about getting vlookups to have additional conditions on them.
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1,"")
Why are you even working with VLookup()? If I read your formula, it reads like:
Look for a value in column B and if you find it, return the value of column K.
If the lookup did not work, then show 1
If the lookup did work, then show and empty string
Why do you want to return value of column K if you overwrite it with an empty string anyway?
I would advise you the following formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B8:K8,10,FALSE),1)
Is this better?
Also, you are looking for that value just on row 8, why not for the whole range:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(CT!B4,'CT WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE),1
This should do it. It combines a normal IF statement with ISERROR. ISERROR simply returns True or False depending on the result of the VLOOKUP.
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(DCTM!B4,'DCTM WKSHT'!B:K,10,FALSE)),1,0)
I have created a formula that returns 'good' in column S if all of the fields in the formula are the same ie. all return 'True' except only one of K or L has to be true or false. However when a field is blank such as the first cell in column O it is still giving a "good" in Col S however it should give a "" as it is not equal to True. Any idea where I am going wrong? Or how I can go about this problem better?
Use:
=IF((K1+L1)*(SUMPRODUCT(--N1:R1)=COLUMNS(N1:R1))>0,"Good","")

For the 'Place' column A, I want it to leave the cell blank for 7th place and above. Referencing the 'Final Time' column. The rest of my formula works fine, I just don't want it so say 'FALSE' and am trying to avoid putting in a specific formula for every placing.
After the very last "6" you are missing a , "" Excel will default to the value FALSE if you do not specify a value to insert for false.
However I strongly recommend reading up on the RANK function.
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$7=21),ROW(1:1))),"")
as it is dragged/copied down it will get the next in the line, until it finds no more, then it will fill the cell with "".
I am not programming in VBA. This is a simple excel spreadsheet. Essentially, I have a formula the finds the lowest price in a range of cells and returns its respective column title. It works fine. However, some ranges do not have any values at all. So, the cell that populates with the column header displays #N/A in this case.
What I need to do is check whether or not this happens. If the result is #N/A, I want the cell to show "No Values to Reference." I was thinking something along the lines of:
=IF(CELL != NULL, Display_Header, ELSE "No Bids to Reference")
OR
=IF(CELL = NULL, No Bids to Reference", ELSE Display_Header)
I have tried both NULL and #N/A but I am not sure how Excel handles these situations. That is, how Excel handles #N/A returns.
IF(INDEX($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.
