VLOOK-UP Formula

[cfhasan89]

I trying to VLOOKUP the serial number & Description from List_tbl and add to Installed_tbl. If a serial number is available return serial, if not return "EMPTY".

List_tbl

FLEET	BASE	SRD	AIRCRAFT	WUC	POSITION	UNIQUE_ID	ALT_POSITION	DESCRIPTION	SERIAL
A-01 R	5	ABC	JMA0601	11000		11000	0	F-15S AIRFRAME	93-0864
A-01 R	5	ABC	JMA0601	11AC0		11AC0	0	RADOME ASSY (DOOR NO.1) (F-15SICR)	1757

<colgroup><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

Installed_tbl

FLEET	BASE	SRD	AIRCRAFT	WUC	POSITION	UNIQUE_ID	ALT_POSITION	DESCRIPTION	SERIAL
A-01 R	5	ABC	JMA0601	11000		11000	0

<colgroup><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col><col></colgroup><tbody>
</tbody>

I've tried the following for the serial number but having issues.

My formula: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUO($G2,List_tbl!$G2:List_tbl!$G21028,1,FALSE)),"EMPTY",J2)

try

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$G2:List_tbl!$J21028,4,FALSE),"EMPTY")

This place "EMPTY" is each cell. If a match bring back serial number

try this

Same results "EMPTY" for every cell. In the List_tbl I2: ="F-15S AIRFRAME" and J2: ="93-0864" would this cause me issues?

i actually cut and copy the data in post#1 that works

have a look to see if you can spot something

your formulas are incorrect with a different way
the 2 formulas should be

H2	=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028,3,FALSE),"EMPTY")
I2	=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028,4,FALSE),"EMPTY")

 

[AlanY]

the first formula use relative cell reference, $G2:List_tbl!$J21028, that should be fixed, $G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl![COLOR="#FF0000"]$G2:List_tbl!$J21028[/COLOR],3,FALSE),"EMPTY")

and the second refer to a single column, $G$2:List_tbl!$G$21028 instead of 4 columns G to J, $G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$[COLOR="#FF0000"]G$2:List_tbl!$G$21028[/COLOR],[COLOR="#FF0000"]3[/COLOR],FALSE),"EMPTY")

and the result column should be 4, not 3.
