Hello Excel Masters - Thank you for looking at my post


- Lets say I have the 3 excel sheets in the same folder called master.xls, aaa.xls, and bbb.xls
- In the file named master.xls I can write the following formula and if the data is there the formula works

=VLOOKUP(993161,[AAA.xlsx]Sheet1!$A$1:$B$5,2,FALSE)

Is it possible to write a formula that would look in sheet AAA for the value 993161 and if it existed, execute the above formula and if it did not would look in sheet BBB.xls?

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
