IFERROR
If your VLOOKUP formula is giving you #N/A, that doesn’t mean the formula is broken.
It means it needs a backup plan.

✅ The Fix:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A2, Data!A:B, 2, FALSE), "Not Found")
💡 It works like this:
If VLOOKUP works, show the result
If it fails, show “Not Found” (or anything you want)
📊 Where This Works Best:
Sales lookups
Inventory dashboards
Attendance or ID validation
CRM and data merge sheets
✨ Bonus Tip: Use emojis or dynamic fallback text to match your dashboard theme.
