Remarks:

When searching text values in the fir

column of table_array, ensure that t

data in the first column of table_arra

does not contain any leading spaces,

trailing spaces, inconsistent use of

quotation markts, or nonprinting

characters. In these cases, VLOOKUP

might return an incorrect or unexpec

value.

When searching number or date valu

ensure that the data in the first colum

of table_array is not stored as text

values. In this case, VLOOKUP might

return an incorrect or unexpected

value.

If range_lookup is FALSE and

lookup_value is text, you can use the

wildcard characters the question

mark (?) and asterisk (*) in

lookup_value. A question mark

matches any single character; an

asterisk matches any sequence of

characters. If you want to find an

actual question mark or asterisk, typ

tilde (~) preceding the character.

Example of IF(ISNA) Formula:

.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(B8,A2:,2,FALSE)),"Item Not FoundVLOOKUP(B8,A:2:E2,2,FALE))
