Formula wont work.

ardalaneric

Hello,

I am trying to use this formula:

=IF([Column2]5="","",(IF((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,'Combined Timesheets'!A:[Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes","")))

 

It wont work and I keep getting the #UNPARSEABLE error. Can anyone help me fix my formula?

It looks like you may have an excel tab reference 'Combined Timesheets'!  in the formula.   Can you write out in words what you want the formula to do? 

If Column2 Row5 equals a comma, 

       Then

              (value if true)

              (value if false)

 

If you have more conditions to evaluate just indent as needed. I think this will lead to a better structured formula in the end (using index/match, OR, @row).  Looking forward to your response. 

 

 

=IF(

          [Column2]5="","",

              (IF

                  ((VLOOKUP([Column4]5,'Combined Timesheets'!A:

                     [Column2],2,FALSE))=[Column2]5,"Yes",""

                   ))

                )
