#NO MATCH when counting the results of a VLOOKUP

I am trying to count how many items fit 2 criteria, one is the year, the other is the state. The issue is coming in with the state, as I just changed it to a VLOOKUP and my formulas were all working before I did that. The VLOOKUP is working, but there are a few values which return a #NO MATCH and I can't change that due to the nature of those particular rows.

I am now getting a #NO MATCH error for all of my COUNTIFS formulas.

I saw this post <https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/errors> and it seems like a similar problem, but the solution didn't work for me. I'm not sure if I'm implementing it wrong?

Here is my formula:

=COUNTIFS([Project Year]:[Project Year], "2019", State:State, IFERROR(@cell, 0) = "AL")

Any help is appreciated! I've been staring at this all day!

You are going to have to remove the error from the column being counted. Why is it that you cannot change the "#NO MATCH"?

Found a solution! I changed it so that the VLOOKUP utilizes IFERROR instead of the COUNTIF and it works! Going to leave this up in case anyone experiences a similar issue.

My above formula is now

=COUNTIFS([Project Year]:[Project Year], "2019", State:State, "GA")

and my VLOOKUP in the State column is

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP([Location Name]105, {Location Info Range 1}, 4, false), "N/A")

Well done. That's why I was asking about why you couldn't change the #NO MATCH error.
