Hi, I have an issue regarding filter views. It’s less used partly because it looks more complicated but as we’ve seen above it’s easy to set up. In many cases VLOOKUP will do the job, but as you can see above there are times when INDEX and MATCH is better. By default, “1” is used, so it is possible to leave the number out if you want to search a list in ascending order, like we did in this example. So, if the list was sorted in descending order we would use a “-1” instead. 1: causes MATCH to assume that the range is sorted in descending order and return the smallest value greater than or equal to search key. There are 3 number options at the end of the formula:ġ: causes MATCH to assume that the range is sorted in ascending order and return the largest value, less than or equal to search key.Ġ: indicates exact match, and is required in situations where range is not sorted. So, basically, you can imagine a range from 12-14 for Intermediate, and that our value falls within that range. Then it returns the corresponding level in column A. As 14 doesn’t appear, it finds that 12 is the largest value. This time it’s looking for 14 in column B and looks for the largest value that is the same or less than it. Make sure you close each open parenthesis in the right place, and have the same number of opening and closing parenthesis.įor more information, see how to use VLOOKUP.This is the same as we’ve seen before, except that there is a “1” at the end this time. This error means that Google Sheets can't interpret your formula, most of the time due to incorrect use of parentheses. #VALUE! errorįormula parse error Usually a parenthesis problem For example, if the Search range is located in a spreadsheet named Data range, and in a sheet named Sheet1, the parameter is IMPORTRANGE("","Sheet1!B4:D7")įor more information, see how to use VLOOKUP from another sheet. If the Search range is in a different spreadsheet, the Search range must include the IMPORTRANGE function with the URL of the spreadsheet and specify the sheet's name followed by the exclamation mark.For example, if the Search range B4:D7 is located in a sheet named Sheet2, the parameter is Sheet2!B4:D7 If the Search range is in a different sheet of the Lookup value, you must specify the sheet's name followed by the exclamation mark.This error occurs if VLOOKUP is not able to find the Search range. A value is not available to the formula or function Path to the Search range is not provided Make sure that there are enough empty cells below and next to the formula's cell. This can happen if you use VLOOKUP with arrays and return multiple results. For example =VLOOKUP(TRIM(G4), B7:D12, 3, FALSE). You can use the TRIM function to remove hidden spaces. There may be extra spaces in your Lookup value. In particular, make sure that numbers are formatted the same way, as numbers, and not text. The format of the Lookup value must match the format of the matching value in the Search range. You can replace N/A results with an empty or user-friendly value with the IFNA formula. If you are searching for an exact match (FALSE), and the Lookup value doesn't exist in the first column of the Search range, #N/A will be returned.įor more information, see exact match. The lookup column is not sorted in ascending order.įor more information, see approximate match. The lookup value is smaller than the smallest value in the lookup array.If the VLOOKUP function searches for the value closest to and inferior to the value you are looking for. Approximate match is incorrectly configured In that case, make sure no separators are missing between the parameters. Typos can also generate the Wrong number of arguments error message. Check that the Lookup value is spelled correctly. Did not find value "_" in VLOOKUP evaluation There is a typo in the Lookup value
