Hi, I need help fixing this formula. I am trying to get it to lookup a different sheet if no data exists in the first lookup.

=if(xlookup(A26,'LS US'!L:L,'LS US'!P:P)="",xlookup('US All'!L:L,'US All'!P:P)

It says I don't have enough arguments.

Thank you in advance for your help!
 

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
you dont have the value to lookup
xlookup('US All'!L:L,'US All'!P:P)
xlookup(A26,'US All'!L:L,'US All'!P:P)

BUT if xlookup cannot find a value - it would return a N/A error
so
=iferror(xlookup(A26,'LS US'!L:L,'LS US'!P:P),xlookup(a26,'US All'!L:L,'US All'!P:P))
unless you specify a value for if_an_error part of the formula xlookup

Therefore -

A SMALL sample spreadsheet, around 10-20 rows, would help a lot here, with all sensitive data removed, and expected results mocked up and manually entered, with a few notes of explanation.

This will possibly enable a quicker and more accurate solution for you.

MrExcel has a tool called “XL2BB” that lets you post samples of your data and will allow us to copy/paste your sample data into our Excel spreadsheets, saving a lot of time.

You can also test to see if it works ok, in the "Test Here" forum.

OR if you cannot get XL2BB to work, or have restrictions on your PC

then put the sample spreadsheet onto a share

I only tend to goto OneDrive, Dropbox or google docs , as I'm never certain of other random share sites and possible virus.
Please make sure you have a representative data sample and also that the data has been desensitised, remember this site is open to anyone with internet access to see - so any sensitive / personal data should be removed

Make sure you set any share or google to share to everyone
