Formula returning #N/A

[Guest]

In Sheet1 I have the following formula in B149:

=IF(VLOOKUP(A149,MyClinics,3,FALSE),"Yes","No")

MyClinics is a named range on my sheet - Reference List

In My Define Ranges Dialog Box I have:
MyClinics with RefersTo: as:
='Reference List'!$A$115:$E$222

What are the other possibilities as to why I'm getting
nothing but #N/A returned?
TIA,,,

If you're not returning a value using VLOOKUP, use
something simpler and potentially faster. Try:

=IF(COUNTIF('Reference List'!
$A$115:$A$222,A149),"Yes","No")

Since you seem just need to check whether A149 is in the relevant range...

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A149,INDEX(MyClinics,0,1),0))+0

or

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A149,'Reference List'!$A$115:$A$222,0))+0

Custom format the formula cell as:

[0]"No";[=1]"Yes"

Sorry, but I failed to mention that my cell reference A149 contains PPV
(text)
and MyClinics Column 3 also contains (among others) PPV (text).

Are you saying that you're checking for the presence of A149 in the 3rd
column of MyClinics? If so, using the same logic, we get:

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A149,INDEX(MyClinics,0,3),0))+0

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A149,'Reference List'!$C$115:$C$222,0))+0

Again, apply the Yes/No formatting.

Maybe you're up to something entirely different...
