Issue with lookup and IF

Hi, I am having some issues with the Google Spreadsheet and the conditions for the lookup.
 
I would like to update my spreadsheet cell. 
The issue is that to find the Row I have two options. Looking the Row with a Number or looking the row with a Name. The Number is not always available but it is more accurate. 

How do I tell zapier? 

- Lookup Number in Spreadsheet 
IF CANNOT FIND NUMBER 
- Lookup NAME in Spreadsheet
IF CANNOT FIND NAME 
- Notify me

@Fabs You will need to use Paths to do this.

Workflow looks something like:

 Look up Row by Number

  1. → If no row found → Path A → Lookup row by name → Filter step (If Now row found by name) → notify
  2. → if row found → Path B → Continue as normal
