Vlookup x 2 +#N/A and IF statement

[Guest]

Hi all

Hoping someone can help me

I have a named range: Nort
A B
Melbourne 10 .
Sydney 8 .
Et

In another spreadsheet I have 5000+ transaction

Reads like:
A
Dest kg
Melbourne 2

Not all the destinations are covered in the named range. So I need to Vlookup "Melbourne" and Multiply24 by .5 then add 10

Further to that, there is also a minimum of 15 per transaction and the problem of the ugly #N/

In essence I need something Like

=IF(VLOOKUP(A2,North,2,false)+VLOOKUP(A2,North,3,false)*B2<15,15,VLOOKUP(A2,North,2,false)+VLOOKUP(A2,North,3,false)*B2

but I also need to get rid of th #N/A'

Thanks Alby

Perhaps try something along these lines:

In Sheet1
---------
Assume your set-up is as below
in cols A, B and C
with data in row1 down

Melbourne...10.....0.5
Sydney.......8.....0.4
etc

In Sheet2
---------
Assume your set-up is as below
in cols A and B,
with data from row2 down:

A B
Dest kgs
Melbourne 24

Put in C2:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(TRIM(Sheet2!A2),Sheet1!$A:$A,0)),"",MAX(SUM
(OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,MATCH(TRIM(Sheet2!A2),Sheet1!$A:$A,0)-
1,2)*B2,OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,MATCH(TRIM(Sheet2!A2),Sheet1!
$A:$A,0)-1,1)),15))

Copy C2 down as many rows as there is data in col A

The hardcoded "15" near the end of the formula is taken to
be your minimum condition of 15 per transaction. You can,
if you wish, change this "15" to be a cell reference
instead, say "Z1" for greater flexibility, if the minimum
is something which may also change in time.

If I've read your specs correctly, col C will return what
is required.

But do perform some checks on your own to confirm this
(input some test data with known results)

Thanks for that

what is the signifigance of the sheet2 A$2 and sheet1 A$

You're welcome, Alby

sheet2 A$2
is where you have the (1st) look up value of "Melbourne"
Col A, A2 down is where you have the 5000+ lookup values

sheet1 A$1
is the top left corner cell of your reference table
[i.e. where your named range "North" is located]

Since the suggested OFFSET(..MATCH(..)..) can check the
entire column A:A of Sheet1 for matching with the lookup
values in col A of Sheet2, there's no need to reference
the named range "North" in the formula
--

My apologies for the superfluous "Sheet2!"
[in "sheet2!A2"] in the original formula suggested
(really don't know how that crept in there <g>),
since the formula was already in Sheet2 itself.

The "simplified" formula in C2 of Sheet2 should read:

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(TRIM(A2),Sheet1!$A:$A,0)),"",MAX(SUM(OFFSET
(Sheet1!$A$1,MATCH(TRIM(A2),Sheet1!$A:$A,0)-1,2)*B2,OFFSET
(Sheet1!$A$1,MATCH(TRIM(A2),Sheet1!$A:$A,0)-1,1)),15))

But if you're more comfortable with VLOOKUP, here's an
alternative you can put in C2 of Sheet2, which assumes
that your range "North" refers to, say: =Sheet1!$A$1:$C$50

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(TRIM(A2),North,1,0)),"",MAX(SUM(VLOOKUP
(TRIM(A2),North,3,0)*B2,VLOOKUP(TRIM(A2),North,2,0)),15))

Copy C2 down as before
