Hi all,

vlookup, looks up a value and then place it somewhere else.
I would like to know if there's a way to do the opposite. That is, if I
find a value, don't display it, but if the value can't be found by vlookup,
place some character in the cell to indicate it as such? Is there a way to
do this? Thanks for sharing your thought.
