Help with a long if then else statement in Excel using VBA

Do you have some sample data to look at? And what you would expect the result to be given certain data?

Sorry for the questions I am just pretty unclear on what you are after here.

well this populates to a cell.. and is figured into a  calculation after the fact.

I am not extreamly familiar with vlookup or how the first statement was made. All I need to do is add the information below to the formula bar.. something like a nested if then??

Not really sure what you are wanting for example data. Right now it is creating a multiplier on our commissions sheet.

I actually have created a list in bookmarks.. I guess I am not sure how to write this out?? I can give you the cell names? first the list also comes from bookmarks.. the cell range is P16:P21

Okay, if P16:P21 is the list for the month range, you need to have the appropriate multipliers adjacent to them.  Like so:

P16 = 0
P17 = 12
P18 = 19
P19 = 31
P20 = 43
P21 = 55

Then, the multipliers
Q16 = 0
Q17 = 1
Q18 = 1.5
Q19 = 2
Q20 = 2.5
Q21 = 4

Then, replace the "1" in your original formula (the "True" condition of your IF statement) like so:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Years,Bookmarks!C39:D43,2)),VLOOKUP(months,$P$16:$Q$21,2,TRUE),VLOOKUP(Years,Bookmarks!C39:D43,2))

Of course, I'm still assuming you're replacing the error value of "1" with the multiplier based on the months value.  If that's incorrect, you'll need to further clarify what you want to do.

You can use this formula without using a range

=VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2)

if you need a not found condition you can use

=if(isna(VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2)),1,VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2))

or in 2007 or later

=iferror(VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2),1)

I tried the above query (Glenn).. following your directions.. but it now jsut say #N/A.. :(

any ideas?

ssaquhb... can you figure out how to add my existing formula with my new data.. I have to have the old data in the collection.

CJ,

In any blank cell, insert the following formula:

=VLOOKUP(months,Bookmarks!$P$16:$Q$21,2,TRUE)

If the range/variable "months" is not blank and is a number, AND if you populated the range of P16:Q21 as I noted above, you will get a result.  The "Bookmarks!" part here may be what is missing.

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(Years,Bookmarks!C39:D43,2)),1,VLOOKUP(Years,Bookmarks!C39:D43,2))+if(isna(VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2)),1,VLOOKUP(month,{0,0;12,1;19,1.5;31,2;43,2.5;55,4},2))

Just looking at some of the solutions provided and I notice that only Glenn's comment 37768673 has the TRUE/FALSE indicator for the lookup formula.

In theory without the indicator the lookup will never fail because it will return the closest match therefore the IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP...) will always go to the second option as the ISNA condition will not occur.
