What is the formula for displaying a value if another value is in the same row in Excel?

Question

I am trying to create a formula that populates the Location # value of the person that is in the same row and only if the person is in the Location Manager or the Assistant Location Manager columns. The screenshots show two different tabs of information. I am trying to populate the Location# cell in the first screenshot. Data will be pulled from the second screenshot. The formula should populate COL-04 for Jane Doe and COL-01 for John Doe. If they aren't in the two columns, then the cell should stay blank (" "). I hope I explained things clear enough. Thanks

IfError is not working properly.

Answer 1

Assuming both the data starts from A1 and the LOCATION DATA sheet is named Sheet1, this should return the correct values:

=IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!C:C,0)),INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!D:D,0))),"")

Formula not tested, might be missing a bracket or comma:

=IF(B1=" ","",IFERROR(IFERROR(INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!C:C,0)),INDEX(Sheet1!A:A,MATCH(B1,Sheet1!D:D,0))),""))
