Can IF, Contains and VLOOKUP be combined?

Mindfull

Hi all,

I am trying to combine IF and CONTAINS with VLOOKUP (refer following) but it is throwing #INCORRECT ARGUMENT

=IF(CONTAINS("1", {Count}, VLOOKUP("TD", {Mastersheetrng}, 2)))

Can these be combined, or some other combination will work, please help.

Hi Pranja,

You can nest a COUNTIF statement within that IF statement to count and see if the number 1 appears somewhere in the {count} range. Then if it does, you can return the VLOOKUP:

=IF(COUNTIF({Count}, CONTAINS("1", @cell)) >= 1, VLOOKUP("TD", {Mastersheetrng}, 2))

If I've misunderstood what you're looking to do, and you have many 1's in the {count} range but you only want to use the LOOKUP on rows that contain a 1, then you may want to check out Paul's solution involving an INDEX(COLLECT in this other Community post, here.

Let me know if this works for you!

Cheers,

Genevieve
