Hi,

Any idea how to return "Not Found" instead of N/A when value is not found XLOOKUP?

Kind regards,

Julie Bunavicz

Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
One way would be to wrap yopur current XLOOKUP formula in an IFERROR function, i.e.
Excel Formula:
=IFERROR(XLOOKUP(...),"Not Found")

Awesome!! IFERROR worked :) I had been trying ISNA and also IF "N/A" then.... neither were exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate your responses. Thanks!!

Formula in the Test Lookup column =IFERROR(XLOOKUP(D2,A:A,B:B),"Not Found")

As kweaver indicates, it is totally unnecessary to use IFERROR, as XLOOKUP already has a "Not Found" argument built right into it.
So I think their formula should work for you.
