IF Function

VBA Introduction:

Hi guys,

I am trying to create a code that in the event the 2 vlookups fail, then it will then search the cell for certain texts: these being:

NULL
Bank
Company

If the texts are found, then the activecell value should equal "Bank"

Currently I have the below and it is not working

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP('CPARTY CATEGORIES'!D:E,2,0),VLOOKUP(AE11,'CPARTY CATEGORIES'!C:E,3,0),if(SEARCH(E11,"*ICBC*",1),"BANK","Unknown"))

Any ideas?

Thanks

Freddie

Apologies guys, the code I have is the below but doesn't seem to work?

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP('CPARTY CATEGORIES'!D:E,2,0),VLOOKUP(AE1,'CPARTY CATEGORIES'!C:E,3,0)*IF(COUNT(SEARCH({"Bank","Sky High","BRANCH"},E2)),"BANK",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("NULL",E2)),"NON FIN CUST","CORP")))

RE: IF Function

Hi Freddie,


Thank you for the forum question.

To use a worksheet function in VBA you will need to know how. Some worksheet functions can be typed as you would do in the worksheet some need more. Some need the word Application in front of the worksheet function name (Application.Match) the Vlookup needs Application.WorksheetFunction.Vlookup((AE11,'CPARTY CATEGORIES'!C:E,3,0).

The Iferror function can only work with two arguments. You will need an If decisions code to test if the Vlookups return #N/A and you will need an Array Function to work with an array in VBA or you can create an Array. You cannot use {}.

Dim MyArr(2) as string

will create an array in which you can store the three text strings "Bank","Sky High","Branch"

I hope this can help you in the right direction.



Kind regards

Excel tip:

Screen Splitters in Excel

Screen splitter icons can be set from the ribbon bar, or dragged from the scroll bars. The icon just above the up arrow on the right scroll bar controls the horizontal splitter; the icon to the right of the right arrow on the bottom scroll bar controls the vertical splitter.

These icons can be double-clicked to split the screen at the top left of the cell currently in use.
