LOOKUP function

[Arfa]

if the exact lookup_value is not found, it will approximate to the nearest
figure below the requested value.
For Example:
Code Name Qty.
10 Ali 3434
11 Vahid 356
13 Farid 67
14 Mohammad 324
15 Farbod 785

In "Code" column, "12" does not exist.
When I Lookup column "Code", it will be as follow:
Code Name Qty.
10 Ali 3434
11 Vahid 356
12 Vahid 356 <------- (This row is the same as "11")
13 Farid 67
14 Mohammad 324
15 Farbod 785

I want to have empty cells or zero when there is not "12".

Please help me.

Use VLOOKUP(). Refer help for details and syntax

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(10,A1:C6,2,0)),"",VLOOKUP(10,A1:C6,2,0))

To retrun the 3rd column (Qty)
VLOOKUP(10,A1:C6,3,0)

If this post helps click Yes

If you have Excel 2007, you can use IfError

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(10,A1:C6,2,TRUE),"")

Many Thanks.
I use Excel 2003.

If you have Excel 2007, you can use IfError

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(10,A1:C6,2,TRUE),"")
