Hello Everyone

Can anyone help me with my formula

I need to do a VLookup on a Cell but the Table Array needs to be different based on the Value of another Cell.

=IF(B5="Office",VLOOKUP($B$9,matrix!$D$2:$F$100,2,FALSE),IF(B5="Production",VLOOKUP($B$9,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100,2,FALSE),"0"))

Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly 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.
Do you have other information besides "Office" and "Production"?

If so, you can create a table with item and its respective Table Array


<b>Table Item-Table Array</b><br /><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:80px;" /><col style="width:145px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >G</td><td >H</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td >Office</td><td >matrix!$D$2:$F$100</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td >Production</td><td >matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr></table> <br /><br />




Try this

<b></b><br /><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:80px;" /><col style="width:146px;" /><col style="width:80px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >5</td><td > </td><td >Office</td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >6</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >7</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >8</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >9</td><td > </td><td >data</td><td >result</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >C9</td><td >=VLOOKUP(B9,INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(B5,G1:H4,2,0)),2,0)</td></tr></table></td></tr></table> <br /><br />

I do not have any other values. Office and Production are the only 2 values
I created the Table as suggested and pointed the Formula at it

Code:
=VLOOKUP(B9,INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(B5,J3:K6,2,0)),2,0)

but still no go :(

In what way doesn't your formula work?

Also please do not quote entire posts, as it just clutters up the thread.

Or,

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B$9,IF(B5="Office",matrix!$D$2:$F$100,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100),2,FALSE),0)

If you want return #N/A, just remove the IFERROR part and become :

=VLOOKUP($B$9,IF(B5="Office",matrix!$D$2:$F$100,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100),2,FALSE)

Then you can explain what you need?
Or what problem do you have with your formula?
