I have a formula: =vlookup (park!$R$1&BI3,rtzca,2)

When I copy the formula down 10 rows, it will duplicate entries if rtzca had no more data to show. So, first 5 rows will be fine then rows 6-10 will show same exact data as row 5. Then I have to delete those duplicate rows. How do I stop that from happening?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Sorry, but what is rtzca?
That section of your formula should be your table array (so the table that you want to lookup).

Rtzca is just the tab where all the data is coming from. I used a name manager. The formulas work fine is just that it starts repeating itself when there is no additional data.

Ok I understand.
Next question though - the actual value you want looking up, am I right in saying this is always whatever is in cell R1 and BI3 on the sheet called 'park'?
