Formula used in Database<br />
A modified <strong>VLOOKUP</strong> formula must be used in order to anticipate certain situations where the<br />
values would be #N/A.<br />
The primary situation <strong>is</strong> when we have a data code but the database table doesn’t.<br />
For example, we have PIN Code 665 but there are no costs associated with it. Since there<br />
<strong>is</strong> no cost, the CEC reports may not carry the line item.<br />
The #N/A Value will prevent further mathematical manipulations.<br />
Our CODB has PIN Code 665.<br />
However, th<strong>is</strong> code <strong>is</strong>n’t in the<br />
FoxPro Data Table.<br />
Th<strong>is</strong> results in the #N/A.<br />
#N/A prevents us from<br />
summing the Salaries.<br />
To avoid th<strong>is</strong> problem (#N/A), we embed the <strong>VLOOKUP</strong> formula into an IF Statement.<br />
