Having Problems with VLOOKUP Formula
EE Pros,
I've worked about an hour on trying to solve a simple problem with a VLOOKUP Formula. Been through all the help and samples.... here's the issue. I want to select a text descriptor from a List Box and have it run the corresponding table number. I've attached the actual WS with the problem described.
Thank you in advance.

In addition to Kevin's comment, you'll also need to change some of the data in your VLOOKUP table to match what the value of the drop-list will be.
eg. for EW, you won't get a match unless you change cell I12 to "Early Warning" from "EW". The abbreviated names (EW, PM, CM) in column I won't match with any of the drop-list items and you'll end up with #N/A as the result for those.

Please try this....
In G5
In G5
=IFERROR(IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F5,$I$9:$J$16,2,0),VLOOKUP(LEFT(F5,1)&MID(F5,FIND(" ",F5)+1,1),I8:J15,2,0)),"")
I quickly got Kevin's solution to work. Matt, thanks for the heads up.....made the changes. Neeraj, as always thank you for providing additional support to trap the errors and make things work. I elected to stay with Kevin's formula due to its simplicity. However, I'm keeping Neeraj's formula in reserve to use at a later date.
Thanks again guys for jumping on this.

I closed this question out a week ago. How do I insure these three EE Pros get their points? They did a great job for me.
