The VLOOKUP function will throw an #N/A error when a value isn’t found.

By nesting multiple VLOOKUPs inside the IFERROR function, the formula allows for sequential lookups.

If the first VLOOKUP fails, IFERROR catches the error and runs another VLOOKUP.

Excel formula: VLOOKUP with 2 lookup tables

If the second VLOOKUP fails, IFERROR catches the error and runs another VLOOKUP, and so on.

IFERROR is an elegant way to trap and manage errors without using more complicated nested IF statements.
