Here is what I struggled, some of our employees have 2 IDs, this is what I want: If vlookup the ID1, if return is "#N/A", then I want to vlookup ID2 to return a name. (which should come up with name).

How do I put one formula together? I tried to use if(vlookup) but it doesn't work.

Thanks for the help!

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
