Hello,
I need some help, I have a worksheet and in one cell I check if it equals to 0 it should do vlookup to other sheet and get from there the information. But I want to add to it that if the vlookup is also equals to 0 so it should do antoher vlookup to another worksheet and get the information from there.
So itz should be something like this:
In column F I have names of the workers and in column J I have the last day they worked this year and if the last day was last year it will vlookup the name from worksheet2 (last year) but if the vlookup get 0 so it means the last time they worked is 2 years ago it will do vlookup to the name in worksheet3 (two years ago) and will find the date. All workshhet are same so the names are always in column F and the dates are always in column J
If j2=0 do vlookup to worksheet2 and if the vlookup in worksheet2 is also equals to 0 do vlookup to worksheet3 and get the information from worksheet3.
Thanks...

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
I think you will want to structure it like this:
Code:
=IF(J2=0,IF(VLOOKUP1=0,VLOOKUP2,VLOOKUP1),"what you want returned if J2<>0")
Substitute VLOOKUP1 with your first VLOOKUP formula, and VLOOKUP2 with your second VLOOKUP formula.
