trying to have the text value of a cell returned when a condition is met.

i.e. - if cell A1 is equal to a value in a range (a6:a20) return the value of a cell in a range (b6:b20) but the values in B are text

=VLOOKUP(A1,A6:B20,2,FALSE)

This formula will return #N/A if there is no match. You can suppress this error value using IFERROR:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,A6:B20,2,FALSE),"")
