Hi!

That's fine if B1 is blank. If B1 isn't blank and isn't
found in the lookup table, you'll still get #N/A. Of
course, if the lookup value will always be found in the
lookup table then that's not a problem.

If you use the IF ISNA formula, you cover both
possibilities.

I would have used an =IF( statement first, before going
into my =VLOOKUP(

=if(b1="",0,vlookup(b1,criteria name,column ref))

I hope I explained this to you correctly, as I used this
format regularly
and it works.
