Variable VLookup based on Cell Value

[BishopDesigns]

Hello Everyone

Can anyone help me with my formula

I need to do a VLookup on a Cell but the Table Array needs to be different based on the Value of another Cell.

=IF(B5="Office",VLOOKUP($B$9,matrix!$D$2:$F$100,2,FALSE),IF(B5="Production",VLOOKUP($B$9,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100,2,FALSE),"0"))

Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Do you have other information besides "Office" and "Production"?

If so, you can create a table with item and its respective Table Array


<b>Table Item-Table Array</b><br /><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:80px;" /><col style="width:145px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >G</td><td >H</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td >Office</td><td >matrix!$D$2:$F$100</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td >Production</td><td >matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td > </td><td > </td></tr></table> <br /><br />




Try this

<b></b><br /><br /><table border="1" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Calibri,Arial; font-size:11pt; background-color:#ffffff; "> <colgroup><col style="font-weight:bold; width:30px; " /><col style="width:80px;" /><col style="width:146px;" /><col style="width:80px;" /></colgroup><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; font-weight:bold; font-size:8pt; "><td > </td><td >A</td><td >B</td><td >C</td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >1</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >2</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >3</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >4</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >5</td><td > </td><td >Office</td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >6</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >7</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >8</td><td > </td><td > </td><td > </td></tr><tr style="height:18px ;" ><td style="font-size:8pt; background-color:#cacaca; text-align:center; " >9</td><td > </td><td >data</td><td >result</td></tr></table><br /><table style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; border-style: groove ;border-color:#00ff00;background-color:#fffcf9; color:#000000; "><tr><td ><b></b></td></tr><tr><td ><table border = "1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" style="font-family:Arial; font-size:9pt;"><tr style="background-color:#cacaca; font-size:10pt;"><td >Cell</td><td >Formula</td></tr><tr><td >C9</td><td >=VLOOKUP(B9,INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(B5,G1:H4,2,0)),2,0)</td></tr></table></td></tr></table> <br /><br />

I do not have any other values. Office and Production are the only 2 values
I created the Table as suggested and pointed the Formula at it

=VLOOKUP(B9,INDIRECT(VLOOKUP(B5,J3:K6,2,0)),2,0)

but still no go

In what way doesn't your formula work?

Also please do not quote entire posts, as it just clutters up the thread.

Or,

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($B$9,IF(B5="Office",matrix!$D$2:$F$100,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100),2,FALSE),0)

Bosco,

Thank you, but there should never be a case where #N/A would be the result.

 

[bosco_yip]

If you want return #N/A, just remove the IFERROR part and become :

=VLOOKUP($B$9,IF(B5="Office",matrix!$D$2:$F$100,matrix!$AG$2:$AJ$100),2,FALSE)

Any suggestions/assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Then you can explain what you need?
Or what problem do you have with your formula?

 

[BishopDesigns]

I was able to take care of the issue with Named Cells.

Thank you for the assist though!
