Can you please elobrate your problem, what you to look up in third column adn with reference to what.

if you simple want to lookup first column with reference to the same, the vlookup formula is as:

=VLOOKUP(A:A,A:A,1,FALSE)
0
column 1 column 2 column 3 Result column
suresh dipak suresh suresh
lester jayraj lester lester
nitin lullu nitin nitin
dipak #N/A
jayraj #N/A
lullu #N/A

Note:-
U r given formula is normal that is col3 to looking in col1 only, but I want to lookup col3 with col1 & col2 at a time where #n/a data is not in col1 but it is col2 I want result in result column. So, please help my to solve this problem

As per my understanding

if there is #N/A in column 2, result column is blank
and if
column 2 has value than result column having a value of column 3 with respect to column 1.

if i am right

than first replace #N/A by blank using find and replace,
than use this formula.

= if (B2 ="" ,"" , VLOOKUP(A2,A:C,3,FALSE))

if not
Please be more specific regarding your problem, :)

Cheers!
Rahul
