Hello all.

Here is the scenario.

xrlpUej.png



I am using Excel to track the inventory of desk phones(among other things)

This screenshot is row 8.
Here is what I currently have for the H Column

Code:
=IF(G8<>"",INDEX(AD_Username,MATCH(G8,AD_Locations,0)),"")

The phones are assigned to a particular seat or room. That formula shows which user is at that seat. If a device is not assigned the H column is blank.


If the device is assigned a location AND there is no one assigned to that seat I get a #N/A error.

I have been trying to use if isserror to no avail. I would like these #N/A's to say "Open Seat" if possible.

How should I correct the formula so that its blank if the device is not assigned and it shows "Open Seat" if the device is assigned to an open location.

Thanks everyone!

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Maybe
=IF(G8<>"",IFERROR(INDEX(AD_Username,MATCH(G8,AD_Locations,0)),"Open Seat"),"")
