Another #N/A Result question...Sorry

[Steve K]

I've read and tried every conceivable posibbilty I could think of, with no
succes.

The formula below results in #N/A if Q19 = nothing....how can I get a blank
cell result?

=IF(Q19=1,HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,3),IF(Q19=2,HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,4),IF(Q19=3,HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,5),IF(Q19=4,HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,6),""))))

Hi Steve

Maybe
=IF(Q19="","",HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,Q19+2)

Hi!

If Q19 = nothing then your formula returns "" (blank) in my tests.

If Q19 = something AND I34 = nothing THEN the formula returns #N/A.

Maybe try this:

=IF(OR(Q19="",I34=""),"",CHOOSE(Q19,HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,3),HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,4),HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,5),HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,6)))

I like Roger's use of Q19+2

I'd use that formula but include the OR.

Hi Biff

I agree, trapping the case of a null in I34 with the OR() function would
certainly make the formula more robust.

=IF(OR(Q19="",I34=""),"",HLOOKUP(I34,G92:O97,Q19+2)
