Hi all,

Probably a really simple answer to my question.

I've written the below formula to give me a tel number in a cell if one is held on another sheet and to show no tel held if it isn't there. The final part of the formula works fine but if i hold a tel number is gives me #value ! error.

=IF(VLOOKUP(E5,'Hidden stuff'!L2:R1275,7,FALSE),"<>","NO TEL HELD")

What do I need to put in the [velue is true] portion of the formula to show me the result? Or do i need to do something a lot simpler?

As always thanks in advance
