=IF(PaymentDetails!$B22="","",VLOOKUP(PaymentDetails!$B22,AppMember,4,FALSE))*E22

Please everybody, how do I write this formula so as not to return error #value?

Hi Redbaby,

There is nothing wrong with your formula, so it must be the values.

Is the 4th column of the AppMember range a number?
Is the value in E22 a number?

Otherwise consider posting a sample of what you have.

Best regards,
Trowa

Hello Trowa,

Thank you for your time and effort to help.

=IF(PaymentDetails!$B22="","",VLOOKUP(PaymentDetails!$B22,AppMember,4,FALSE))*E22


Yes the 4th column of AppMember range is a number and the value E22 is also a number but the problem I think is the fact that column D of PaymentDetails is vlookup.

That is to say column B of PaymentDetails is validated members name to vlookup members monthly savings of say 10,000 in column D from another sheet, now if the member pays for say two months the formula will multiply the 10,000 by column E(E22) and return 20,000 in column D and this is correct but all the empty cells are returning the error #value.

Thanks once more, I hope I'm able to make you understand.

Hi Redbaby,

If I understand you correctly you want to display nothing instead of #value.

Try this:
=IF(OR(PaymentDetails!$B22="",ISERROR(VLOOKUP(PaymentDetails!$B22,AppMember,4,FALSE))=TRUE),"",VLOOKUP(PaymentDetails!$B22,AppMember,4,FALSE))*E22

Best regards,
Trowa

Never read a book about Excel. Google searches, trial/error and ccm.net is what developed my skills.
