I'm trying to work out a formula for combining an IF statement and a VLOOPUP.
Basically, I want the formula to return a value if a value was found through VLOOKUP, or to return something else if not found...
I have experimented with
=IF(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$2:$B$31, 1, 0),"FOUND","NOT FOUND!")
... but this doesn't seem to work.
Many thanks for any thoughts you might have...

In Google Sheets, combine VLOOKUP with IF to get a result conditional on the value returned by VLOOKUP (yes/no, true/false, ...). The value that is returned from the formula. The value to look for in the first column of the Search range. A range that must contain the Lookup value and the Result.
If formula can be used together with VLookup formula to return an exact match of values and an empty string if the value is not found. The combination of these formulas makes excel tasks more effective.
Just cut (Ctrl+x) the Vlookup criteria from the range E8:E10 and paste (Ctrl+v) into M2:M4. Insert the above formula in cell N2. Delete all the columns from C to K and voila! For using the formula in an open/infinite range, there are three changes that you must make in the above Vlookup and combine values formula in Google Sheets. What are they?
You can use the following formula with IFERROR and VLOOKUP in Google Sheets to return a value other than #N/A when the VLOOKUP function does not find a particular value in a range: This particular formula looks for “string” in the range A2:B11 and attempts to return the corresponding value in the second column of this range.
Why Should you Combine VLOOKUP and MATCH? 1 MATCH Function. The MATCH Function will return the column index number of your desired column header. “Age” is the 2nd column header, so 2 is returned. 2 VLOOKUP Function 3 Inserting and Deleting Columns. Now, when you insert or delete columns in the data range, the result of your formula will not change.
To do a v-lookup from another spreadsheet, you need to add IMPORTRANGE to your formula. Svetlana has provided the example here: Basically I’ve set a table that’s about 300 rows and it contains data that’s the same with other 150 names now I use Vlookup to pull the data from on sheet to another to get the information I need great!
An old thread but would like to submit a cleaner solution for the Vlookup example or places where you want to use the value returned by a formula-
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,$B$2:$B$31, 1, 0),"NOT FOUND")
