Excel HLOOKUP Error Messages

The following error messages are associated with HLOOKUP.

#N/A error :
  • This error is displayed if the lookup value is not found in the first column of the table array.

  • It will also be displayed if the range for the table array argument is inaccurate. If this argument includes empty rows above the table array.

#REF!:
  • This error is displayed if the row index number argument is greater than the number of rows in table array. In the image above, the #REF! error occurs because the row index number is set to 3 while there are only two rows in the Table_array.

This completes the tutorial on creating and using the HLOOKUP function in Excel 2007.
