=IF(Sheet3!C3="","0",VLOOKUP(Sheet3!C3,List4,2,0)) is my formula.


My issue is that if I delete the row that C3 is in on sheet3 or paste new data from another cell , the forumla turns out a #REF! error

=IF(Sheet3!#REF!="","",VLOOKUP(Sheet3!#REF!,List4,2,0))

By deleting the row on the main sheet or pasting in different data from another cell ,I would like my formula to keep referencing the same cells , just use the data that got shifted up. To clarify, keep looking at cell C3 on sheet3, just use the new text that in in the box for my vlookup formula.


Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
 

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.
=IF(Sheet3!C3="","0",VLOOKUP(Sheet3!C3,List4,2,0)) is my formula.

Try this...

=IF(INDIRECT("Sheet3!C3")="",0,VLOOKUP(INDIRECT("Sheet3!C3"),List4,2,0))

No way to auto fill with this equation?
Which way do you want to fill?

Like this:

Sheet3!C3
Sheet3!C4
Sheet3!C5
Sheet3!C6
etc
etc

If so, try this...

=IF(INDIRECT("Sheet3!C"&ROWS(A$1:A3))="",0,VLOOKUP(INDIRECT("Sheet3!C"&ROWS(A$1:A3)),List4,2,0))
