Yes, but you'll need to provide some details on what the formula is supposed
to do. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Kiley" wrote in message ... I have an IF statement and I am wondering if a Vlookup can be added to the formula?

Can a VLookup be added to an IF Statement?
Yes.
For example =IF(A1=1,VLOOKUP(...),"something else") or =IF(VLOOKUP(...)=A1,B1,C1) -- David Biddulph "Kiley" wrote in message ... I have an IF statement and I am wondering if a Vlookup can be added to the formula?

Not enough info.
Tell us what it is you're looking for. Where do we look for it? See if this helps: ...........A..........B 1........x..........north 2........y..........south 3........z..........east D1 = y =VLOOKUP(D1,A1:B3,2,0) Result = south -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Kiley" wrote in message ...

Can a VLookup be added to an IF Statement?
Sorry, I did not include what the IF statement. Here it is:
I am pulling in information from another workbook that is look at three sets of data and I need to grab the one that ="y". That is how the IF statement is set up. What I want to do is look at this IF statement for a a particular employee. So, for example, I want to do a vlookup for employee number 12345 and apply the IF statement. Let me know if you still need more information. Thank you. =IF('K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$AW$4="y",'K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$AS$4,IF('K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$BD$4="y",'K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$AZ$4,IF('K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$BK$4="y",'K:\COMP\Mary\[TEMPLATE Off Mrt Summary Sheet _04_30_09.xls]officer data'!$BG$4,"")))/1000 "T.

Can a VLookup be added to an IF Statement?
I don't see how VLOOKUP comes into play here. For one thing, VLOOKUP
searches to the right. Your formula is "searching" to the left. There's nothing wrong with your formula other than it being kind of long due to the extremely long file name. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Kiley" wrote in message ...

Can a VLookup be added to an IF Statement?
I'm not following you on this.
A lookup formula usually searches a table but your IF formula is looking at single cells. Here's your IF formula reduced to just the cell references: =IF(AW4="y",AS4,IF(BD4="y",AZ4,IF(BK4="y",BG4,"")) )/1000 Refer back to my other reply where I posted a sample lookup table. You say you want to lookup an employee number. Where is this employee number? And, if the employee number is found where is the data that you want returned? How does this relate to tour IF formula? You have to be *VERY SPECIFIC* and provide the details. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Kiley" wrote in message ... I want to add a vlookup to this IF statement.

Can a VLookup be added to an IF Statement?
I have a workbook with a set of data which includes employee ID numbers, and
then three sets of data for each employee. Each set of data is identified with a "y" or a "n". The IF statement (which is set up in another workbook) is set up to pull the set of data that has been identified with a "y". My goal is to be able to add a vlookup to the IF statement using employee ID number to pull the "y" set of data for a particular employee. I would send you what my data looks like, but I do not know if there is an option to attach documents here. You help an patience is greatly appreciated. "T.
