Error Return Value from and INDEX(A:2,MATCH()) function
Hello,
I am using the following function =IF(INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Mar A'!A:A,0))=#N/A,"",INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Page A'!A:A,0))) and it keeps returning a #N/A when the MATCH() function errors out, but what I want to show is "" (blank space). Obviously there is something wrong with my formula but I can't figure it out. If anyone out there can help me please let me know what I am doing wrong Thanks! |

Try using ISNA instead:
IF(ISNA(INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Mar A'!A:A,0))),,"",INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Page A'!A:A,0))) That should get you a blank with a return of #N/A. Check out the other IS functions, too (ISERROR, ISBLANK, ISREF, etc.). Hope that helps.

Try instead in this form:
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(...)),"",INDEX(.. MATCH(...))) Error trap for the MATCH(...) part will do -- Rgds Max xl 97 --- GMT+8, 1° 22' N 103° 45' E xdemechanik atyahoodotcom ---- BJ wrote in message ...

I am assuming you have a typo in the formula and Mar A should be Page A (or
if it is a translation that you missed?), however I am going to use Page A =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Page A'!A:A,0)),INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Page A'!A:A,0)),"") should work Regards, Peo Sjoblom "BJ" wrote: Hello, I am using the following function =IF(INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Mar A'!A:A,0))=#N/A,"",INDEX('Page A'!F:F,MATCH('Page B'!A9,'Page A'!A:A,0))) and it keeps returning a #N/A when the MATCH() function errors out, but what I want to show is "" (blank space).
