VLOOKUP output

[Freddie]

Hi. I need to use an if formula

If the VLOOKUP formula in the "list" sheet doesn't find any information in
the "price" sheet, I want to use an IF formula to get information from
another column in the "list" sheet.
But if the VLOOKUP formula cant find any information in another sheet but
the output is (in swedish) #saknas! (I think it returns #N/A in english) so I
cant use the IF formula.

VLOOKUP should be ideal for that. Don't use IF.
Please post your formula and inputs. Is the lookup table sorted?

=IF(ISNA(first_vlookup);second_vlookup,firts_vlookup)

sorry, not Swedish

In English (with my USA settings):

=if(isna(vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:c,2,false)),
vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:c,3,false),
vlookup(a1,sheet2!a:c,2,false)))

(if it's an error, then use column 3, else use column 2.)
