I have a spreadsheet where I need a cell to look for a specific value in another tab and if it finds that value, to populate a cell with the description in the column specified.
I have used this formula before in a different spreadsheet and it worked great.
However, in this one it is not finding the value even though it is there.
This is the formula: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(E12,'Sheet 1'!A:D,'Sheet 1'!A:D,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(E12,'Sheet 1'!A:D,'Sheet 1'!A:D,FALSE))
So basically, in Sheet 2, F12 has the formula, and it is supposed to look for the value that is in E12…find it in Sheet 1 and then populate F12 with whatever it finds in F5 of sheet 1.
Sorry but it won't let me attach the sheet
