Solved Trying to use VLoolup and If statement

Specs: Windows 10
I'm trying to vlookup on my main sheet a "Team" then return the value in column 2 on the corresponding teams tab if the team name matches. Can't seem to get it to work. Here's one of the formulas I've tried:

=VLOOKUP(J1,'Main Data'!A:A,IF('Main Data'!A:A="HC - Magnolia",2,0))

✔ Best Answer
You have it wrong way 'round.
You need to wrap the VLOOKUP() in the IF()

Something like:

=IF(VLOOKUP(J1,'Main Data'!A:A,2,0)="HC - Magnolia","Found It","Not Found")

Is that what your looking to do?

And, in the future, Excel questions are best asked in the Office Software forum.
