Excel Junkie Wanna Be

I have 2 VLOOKUP formulas in one cell that are nested within an I
function. The lookup value is a cell that has a data validation box i
it, and the data validation has a fairly "complex" formula in it. Th
vlookup formula was working but now it suddenly isn't. I thought it ma
be because I entered a more complicated formula in my data validatio
cell, but even if I delete the data validation & type in a value th
VLOOKUP no longer works. I'm at a loss as to what to do to fix it.

I am new to VLOOKUP & MATCH functions, so I know I must be missin
something. You can see named ranges in the formulas below. Please help!

Here are my formulas:

Formula in the data validation cell
=OFFSET(DeptStart,MATCH($C$76,DeptColumn,0)-1,1,COUNTIF(DeptColumn,$C$76),1)

Formula in the VLOOKUP cell
=IFERROR(IF($G$5="Yes",VLOOKUP($F$76,Instructor,4,FALSE),VLOOKUP($F$76,Instructor,3,FALSE)),0
