Adding Conditions to an Existing XLOOKUP Formula

[meppwc]

I would greatly appreciate assistance with adding logic to an existing formula.
The following formula is in cell W48.
=XLOOKUP(O48,'FMA TABLE'!A:A,'FMA TABLE'!C:C)

I want to add logic (conditions) to what column is used to map data from when a value is found.
Currently it is always mapping data back from 'FMA TABLE'!C:C

The logic that I want to add is:
If a value is found in O48, then if the value in P48 = “BLACK AND WHITE METER”, then map data back from TABLE'!D:D
If a value is found in O48, then if the value in P48 = “COLOR METER”, then map data back from TABLE'!E:E
If a value is found in O48, then if the value in P48 = “TOTAL METER”, then map data back from TABLE'!C:C

you are not looking up a value in a table only if it exists
so a countifs() may work instead

something like

=IF( AND( P48 = “BLACK AND WHITE METER” , COUNTIFS('FMA TABLE'!A:A, O48)>0) , XLOOKUP(O48,'FMA TABLE'!A:A,'FMA TABLE'!D:D), IF( AND( P48 = “color meter” , COUNTIFS('FMA TABLE'!A:A, O48)>0) , XLOOKUP(O48,'FMA TABLE'!A:A,'FMA TABLE'!E:E),IF AND( P48 = “Total METER” , COUNTIFS('FMA TABLE'!A:A, O48)>0) , XLOOKUP(O48,'FMA TABLE'!A:A,'FMA TABLE'!C:C),"")))

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

Excel 'mini-sheet' in messages - XL2BB Although experts prefer to read your description and question instead of working in your actual file to solve your problem, there are times that it is difficult to explain an issue without providing actual...

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC , then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share
I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

I tried this formula in W48 and it resulted in an error. Is the syntax correct.

yep, i did put in a sheet

so maybe there is an issue in the lookup tables -

I have a blank sheet called FMA TABLE

can you give some of the content

I'll try a few values in the cells and see what I get back

maybe... XLOOKUP( O4

If a value is found in O48, then if the value in P48 = “TOTAL METER”, then map data back from TABLE'!C:C

In your "the logic that I want to add is" description only has one range being defined. to do lookups you need two ranges.
