为什么我会收到错误 - 这个公式的参数太多了？

Question

I am trying to create a macro for the following formula. First though, I need to get the formula working when referencing a spreadsheet saved separately on the hard drive. Below is what I have but I am getting the error of Too many arguments .

=IFERROR(IF(C2<>"",IF(AND(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Assigned Attorney",OR(B2="Jimmy Edwards",B2="Kathleen McCarthy")),"Sales Team",IF(AND(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Intake Team, Assigned Attorney, or Sales Team",B2<>"Jimmy Edwards",B2<>"Kathleen McCarthy"),B2,IF(AND(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Intake Team, Assigned Attorney, or Sales Team",OR(B2="Jimmy Edwards",B2="Kathleen McCarthy")),"Sales Team",IF(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Assigned Attorney",B2,IF(AND(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Sales Team",OR(B2="Jimmy Edwards",B2="Kathleen McCarthy")),"Sales Team",IF(C2<>"",VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE),"INTAKE TEAM")))))), VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE),"")

Any help? When I go to the function help all of the arguments are okay but it highlights the "" at the end of my formula.

Answer 1

fwiw, you can use Alt + Enter to add line feeds to your long formula and add a little legibility. The line feeds and 'white-space' do not negatively impact the formula's performance in any way.

All I had to do to get it working in its current state was at a ) to ... ,FALSE)), "") at the tail end.

There is some repeated logic that could be paired up. Line 2 could be OR paired with line 6 and 9 and line 11 seems completely redundant as you are still following the TRUE path for the first IF(C2<>"",... and the 'nothing matches' default appears to be doubled up. Here is my best shot.

=IFERROR(IF(C2<>"",
         IF(AND(
                OR(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B, 2, FALSE)={"Assigned Attorney","Sales Team","Intake Team, Assigned Attorney, or Sales Team"}),
                OR(B2={"Jimmy Edwards","Kathleen McCarthy"})), "Sales Team",
         IF(AND(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Intake Team, Assigned Attorney, or Sales Team",
                OR(B2<>{"Jimmy Edwards","Kathleen McCarthy"})), B2,
         IF(VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)="Assigned Attorney", B2,
             VLOOKUP(A2&"",[LPSMatch.xlsx]Sheet1!$A:$B,2,FALSE)))), "INTAKE TEAM"), "")

An OR function (or AND function ) can compare to an array of constants; eg =if(or("BCD" = {"abc", "bcd", "cde"}), ... would be TRUE. Using this method reduces the VLOOKUP functions significantly.

Footnote: the formula you are using is for an external workbook that is open. You would need full path(s) to the workbook if it is closed. If you get the formula working, close the external workbook and all of the full path(s) will be added.
