I have a formula that currently works correctly that is located in cell L2:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'Site Assignments'!$A$1:$D$131,4,FALSE),"ASK JON FOR INFO")

Now I want to add logic that says if cells F2 and I2 are blank, then leave L2 blank
I think what I need to add to the formula above is the following logic:
IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2), ISBLANK (I2),"",

So I came up with this formula:
=IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2), ISBLANK (I2),""),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'Site Assignments'!$A$1:$D$131,4,FALSE),"ASK JON FOR INFO"))

But that formula is returning #NAME ?
I suspect that by adding ISBLANK that might be triggering the error, but I am not sure
What am I doing incorrectly?

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
You misplaced your brackets:

=IF(AND(ISBLANK(F2),ISBLANK(I2)),"",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'Site Assignments'!$A$1:$D$131,4,FALSE),"ASK JON FOR INFO"))

That is not triggering an error........which is good news............but it is still not giving the result that I am looking for............which is a blank cell...............I am not sure if this matters or not, but cells F2 and I2 do have formulas in them

What EXACTLY are those formulas?
Can you post an example of each?

F2 contains
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH(A2,$C$2:$C$600),$C$2:$C$600),"")
I2 contains
=IFERROR(LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,SEARCH(A2,$D$2:$D$600),$C$2:$C$600),"")

Try this instead:
Code:
[COLOR=#333333]=IF(AND(F2="",I2=""),"",IFERROR(VLOOKUP(B2,'Site Assignments'!$A$1:$D$131,4,FALSE),"ASK JON FOR INFO"))[/COLOR]

You are welcome. Glad we were able to help.

Yes, Excel doesn't consider the empty string ("") to be the same as a blank.
