I trying to VLOOKUP the serial number & Description from List_tbl and add to Installed_tbl. If a serial number is available return serial, if not return "EMPTY".

I've tried the following for the serial number but having issues.

My formula: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUO($G2,List_tbl!$G2:List_tbl!$G21028,1,FALSE)),"EMPTY",J2)
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
try

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$G2:List_tbl!$J21028,4,FALSE),"EMPTY")

Same results "EMPTY" for every cell. In the List_tbl I2: ="F-15S AIRFRAME" and J2: ="93-0864" would this cause me issues?

your formulas are incorrect with a different way
the 2 formulas should be

the first formula use relative cell reference, $G2:List_tbl!$J21028, that should be fixed, $G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028

Code:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl![COLOR="#FF0000"]$G2:List_tbl!$J21028[/COLOR],3,FALSE),"EMPTY")

and the second refer to a single column, $G$2:List_tbl!$G$21028 instead of 4 columns G to J, $G$2:List_tbl!$J$21028

Code:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP($G2,List_tbl!$[COLOR="#FF0000"]G$2:List_tbl!$G$21028[/COLOR],[COLOR="#FF0000"]3[/COLOR],FALSE),"EMPTY")

and the result column should be 4, not 3.
