If index-match object doesn't exist, want to return something other than #N/A





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I have an Excel file with 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has a list of item #s and corresponding risk-levels. Sheet 2 also has a list of Item #s, and it uses index-match to extract the risk-level from sheet 1. I've created an example to illustrate:



Sheet1:
sheet 1



sheet 2:
sheet 2
.



On sheet 2, I highlighted 2 items that don't exist on sheet 1 in pink; because of this, they return #N/A. Instead, I want them, and any other items that don't exist on Sheet 1, to say "Needs to be added." How do I change my index-match formula to do this?
Thanks in advance.

    You could wrap it in an IFERROR statement: IFERROR(<your current formula>,"Needs to be added.")
