In Excel 2007, I am looping through the values of column 4 in Sheet 2. Still in Sheet 2, I want to output the result of my vlookup formula into column 5. The vlookup formula
It's been many functions, macros and objects since I posted this question. The way I handled it, which is mentioned in one of the answers here, is by creating a string function that handles the errors that get generate by the vlookup function, and returns either nothing or the vlookup result if any.
Function fsVlookup(ByVal pSearch As Range, ByVal pMatrix As Range, ByVal pMatColNum As Integer) As String
Dim s As String
On Error Resume Next
s = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(pSearch, pMatrix, pMatColNum, False)
If IsError(s) Then
fsVlookup = ""
Else
fsVlookup = s
End If
End Function
One could argue about the position of the error handling or by shortening this code, but it works in all cases for me, and as they say, "if it ain't broke, don't try and fix it".
