I'm trying to do the following;

if vlookup1 returns an error, then vlookup2, if that returns an error then vlookup3, if that returns an error then return zero

Cant make it work!!

Any help would be appreciated
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Not entirely certain if it will work, but I believe you're looking for something like this

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP1),IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP2),IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP3),0,VLOOKUP3),VLOOKUP2),VLOOKUP1)

Replace the VLOOKUP1-3 with your actual Vlookup, of course.
There may be (much) better ways to do this as well--I just don't know them.

Nearly works - I think my description wasn't exactly what I'm after though lol

What I really need it to do is this;

If vlookup1 isnt an error, then vlookup1, then
If vlookup2 isnt an error, then vlookup2, then
If vlookup3 isnt an error, then vlookup3, then 0


I think that may actually be easier, but I cant get it to work!!

I think I've got it to work with =if(not(iserror..........

But if there is a better way I'm all ears!

Thanks for your help.
