Can IF, Contains and VLOOKUP be combined?

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 aCOUNTIF statementwithin 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 inthis other Community post, here.

    Let me know if this works for you!

    Cheers,

    Genevieve

You were, indeed, very close.<\/p>

It looks like you forgot to close out the AND <\/strong>funtion. Try this<\/p>

=IF([Invoice Received?]@row = 0, \"Green\", IF(AND([Renewal Date]@row >= TODAY(0), [Renewal Date]@row <= TODAY(+30)), \"Red\", \"Yellow\"))<\/code><\/p>
