Hi All,

I have the following formula that is returning #N/A, when I am sure that it should return a Value.

The formula is an array formula and I entered it in the cell with CTR+SHIFT+ENTER

VBA Code: 
=VLOOKUP($C3,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SheetList,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!,$C$3:$L$202"),$C3)>0),0))&"'!!,$C$3:$L$202"),10,FALSE)
The above formula exists in cells in Column L in sheet called Juniors

In sheet called Formula, I have created a named range called SheetList for the 2 sheet names which exist in workbook. The sheet names are DD Members and Receipt Members.

What I would like to happen is for the formulas to look at sheets DD Members and Receipt Members and return the value from Column L (headed Junior Parent).

Currently it is returning a #N/A

Excel Facts

What do {} around a formula in the formula bar mean?
{Formula} means the formula was entered using Ctrl+Shift+Enter signifying an old-style array formula.

Can you please post what the name manager says SheetList refers to (or if you didn't have it checked when you last posted check the Named Ranges check box in XL2BB and post that).

Also what do you have in DD Members cell AG1 and Receipt Members cell AG1 ?

I would have expected a #REF error with the invalid range references in your formula, you had an extra exclamation mark at one point, along with a couple of commas that shouldn't be there.

See if this fixes it before we try digging any deeper into the dark depths of that formula.
Excel Formula: 
=VLOOKUP($C3,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SheetList,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),$C3)>0),0))&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),10,FALSE)

Solution
Mark858,

As requested the Named manager says refers to
VBA Code: 
=Formula!$D$4:$D$5

Jasonb75,

Changed the formula to what you suggested and BINGO.

If Cell L3 to L202 is a Blank OR a Space, then the result in Juniors is that it puts a 0.

Any way the formula can be changed so that it displays exactly what is in the Cell in sheets DD Members and Receipt Members?

Hi All,

Changed Jasonb75 formula to have a an IF, and I got what I required.

VBA Code: 
=IF(VLOOKUP($C5,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SheetList,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),$C5)>0),0))&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),10,FALSE)=0," ",VLOOKUP($C5,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SheetList,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),$C5)>0),0))&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),10,FALSE))

Thank you to Mark858 and Jasonb75 for their assistance.

Doubling up on the formula means double the inefficiency, this should do what you need.
Excel Formula: 
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($C5,INDIRECT("'"&INDEX(SheetList,MATCH(1,--(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&SheetList&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),$C5)>0),0))&"'!$C$3:$L$202"),10,FALSE)&"","")
Also, try and get out of the habit of using " " for a blank cell, "" is the common 'best practice' and is usually assumed if you ask for a formula to work with blank / empty cells. The sneaky space has ruined many good formulas in the past.
