It is better to replace the #N/A error with a customized value that everyone can understand why the error is coming. Now, we want to compare both of the data sets of table 1 and table 2 in a single cell and get the result. The employee ID 5902 is available in Table 2 data set. We will use the following formula for searching data in table 2: As the data searched for is unavailable in the table 1 data set. We will use the following formula for searching data in table 1: Now, we want to search the employees’ basic pay with respect to Employee ID 5902. We have two data sets of employee ID, Employee Name and Employee basic pay. In the above figure, we have two sets of data of basic pay of the employees. Let us take the example on the same worksheet to understand the usage of the function on the fragmented datasets in the same worksheet. We can use the function in the same workbook or from different workbooks by the use of 3D cell referencing. We can also use IFERROR with the VLOOKUP function on the fragmented data sets from the same worksheet, workbook, or from different workbooks. We will observe that the error has been replaced with the customized value “ Data Not Found“.Įxample #2 – Use of IFERROR with VLOOKUP on a Fragmented dataset So, we will use IFERROR with VLOOKUP Function in Excel in the following way: So it is better to replace the #N/A error with a customized value that everyone can understand why the error is coming. In this situation, the VLOOKUP function will return the #N/A error. IFERROR checks for the following errors: #N/A, #VALUE!, #REF!, #DIV/0!, #NUM!, #NAME?, or #NULL!īut, that employee ID is not present in the list.
It is used to trap and handle errors produced by other formulas or functions. The IFERROR function returns a value one specifies id a formula evaluates to an error otherwise, it returns the formula.
The TRUE value returns an approximate match, and the FALSE value returns an exact match.
Today in this post, I going to explain all the stuff you need to know to use this combo formula. The best way to solve this problem is to use the MATCH function in VLOOKUP for col_index_number. If you are working on multiple column data, it’s a pain to change its reference you have to do (change column number) this manually. And this is where you need to combine VLOOKUP with MATCH. In VLOOKUP, col_index_no is a static value which is the reason VLOOKUP doesn’t work as a dynamic function. And, the biggest problem is it’s not dynamic. But when you use it more and more you will realize that there are some problems with it. It can help you to quickly look up a value in a column. Well, as we all know VLOOKUP is one of the most popular functions. The Combo of VLOOKUP and MATCH is like a superpower.
