Hi,

I am expecting the result to produce "NO APPROVAL REQUIRED", but it is coming up with N/A. is there something wrong with the formula?

the VLOOKUP result of F16 does match Q4

Code:
=IF(OR(VLOOKUP(D16,'Approver Data'!O:R,4,0)=Q4,VLOOKUP(F16,'Approver Data'!C:F,4,0)=Q4),"NO APPROVAL REQUIRED","")

Many thanks in advance

Yes, you can try wrapping them in Iferror like
=IF(OR(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D16,'Approver Data'!O:R,4,0)=Q4,FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F16,'Approver Data'!C:F,4,0)=Q4,FALSE)),"NO APPROVAL REQUIRED","")
