Hi,

Please can I ask if this can be done?

I am wanting to vlookup some data from a cell (K3) firstly then if that is blank, vlookup on L2, then if that is empty to use an indirect function to use a dropdown list from a named range.

I can do the first 2 parts IFERROR(IF(K3<>"",VLOOKUP(K3,Categories!B:D,2,FALSE),IF('Data Sheet'!L3<>"",VLOOKUP('Data Sheet'!L3,Categories!B:D,2,FALSE),"")),"")

I don't know how to add the indirect function as the 3rd option..

Many thanks

Jason

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Code:
=IFERROR(IF(K3<>"",VLOOKUP(K3,Categories!B:D,2,FALSE),IF('Data Sheet'!L3<>"",VLOOKUP('Data Sheet'!L3,Categories!B:D,2,FALSE),VLOOKUP(INDIRECT(Country),Categories!B:D,2,FALSE))),"")
