I have a range of cells that utilizes the VLOOKUP command
to search for
numerical data by descrition and place it in a cell. Then
I want to add the
numerical data with the sum function. But in some cells
there is #N/A because
the numerical data isn't present. The Sum function always
returns #N/A when
this occurs.

Can anyone help with this?
