Default Combine VLOOKUP and IF function so #NA isn't returned as a val

Thank you for your advice. I will make the change from ISERROR to ISNA
in my formula.

Just so that you are aware, it is typically the ideal that ISNA is use
instead of ISERROR because ISERROR will return TRUE for even syntactical
errors. For instance, =ISERROR(VLOOKUP(HJAHSDFJADHF)) will return TRUE.
Best to replace ISERROR with ISNA.

I am using VLOOKUP and when that function doesn't find the value in the
table, it returns "#NA" as the value. I then can't sum the column
because of the #NA in some of the cells. Is there a way that I can
return a zero or a null instead of the #NA? I was thinking that perhaps
the VLOOKUP could be combined with IF... Thanks for your help in
advance.
