Help with Vlookup and If Statements

[SunnyM]

Hey everyone,

I'm stuck with this formula:

=IF(C7="Ireland",VLOOKUP(A7,Data_Ireland,2,FALSE),IF(C7="Regions",VLOOKUP(A7,Data_Regions,2,FALSE),IF(C7="Corporate",VLOOKUP(A7,Data_Corporate,2,FALSE),"")

I've spent 4 hours on it trying to get it to work but it keep telling
me i'm missing a parenthesis. So after 4 hours of being in the same
situation as i started i've decided to ask the experts, Any ideas
anyone?

Thanks for all your help with this it's very much appreciated,

Sunny

Tricking to tell without seeing the data but try adding another ) to the end
of the formula.

It really is as simple as that. However, to get your full money's worth, I
created an alternative formula for you (the original poster (oh, that's where
they get OP from!)

=VLOOKUP(A7, CHOOSE(MATCH(C7,
{"Ireland","Regions","Corporate"},0),Data_Ireland,Data_regions,Data_corporate),2,FALSE)

I've seen it used here (in this newsgroup,) so decided to see if I could get
it to work, and I could.
