Nilesh,

There’s no way to natively query two separate arrays or lookup values in a VLookup function. However, depending on how your spreadsheet is set up, you might be able to use the Concatenate function to combine values. Your situation sounds very specific, so there could be any number of different solutions to your problem. With creative use of the concatenate function, I think you have a good shot at solving this problem.

Thanks. That’s a good tip.

The ISNA function can also be used as an alternative to the ISERROR. You may need to be made aware of a legitimate error which ISERROR would hide from you. The ISNA function can be used in the same was as described above.

You could try using nested IF statements or concatenate all of the cells in your range and do one IF test for null.

> Nested IF Statements:
=IF(a1=”",if(b1=”",”NULL”,”NOT NULL”),”NOT NULL”)

> Concatenate then Check:
=IF(concatenate(a1,b1)=”",”NULL”,”NOT NULL”)

These formulas haven’t been tested, but I think they’ll solve the problem you’re having.

Sir,

I am trying to make a formula to return null value.
The requirement is to get null value if all the cells in the relevant range is null.

Abraham
