Hey I am trying to use VLOOKUP function to search a value....

and I want the answer to be "0"... when an exact match is not found... suggest..how can we do it...

Best answer by StuartBruff

vlookup returns a vector, so use indexing to get at the value and then assign that to S as required.

Replace NaN with 0 in the above example; uses the programming construct "on error" to trap the vlookup no-match error.

    Perhaps my problem is still there.... As I am trying to use VLOOKUP for not a single variable but for a range of variables..

    Can you suggest how can I solve the following problem.... I have reaction matrix...at the restraint nodes..in order to calculate shear force and generalire the calculation for shear force.. I need a matrix S..which gives a value of zero at the unrestrained nodes....
