instead of just 0 you could test b2 for a range
=if(and(b20,b2<1000000000),.5,0)
you could use the parameters of your quote numbers for the
range.
A single space as well as other possible returns are 0

Thanks for your response, Tim, but neither worked :(

Try:

+IF(ISNUMBER(B2),0.5,0)

or

+ISNUMBER(B2)/2

For the data above, I have a VLOOKUP table to
determine points for GP %
achieved. However, .5 point is awarded if a Quote #
is entered. I have
the
following formula in Column F which returns the
correct amount of points,
but
in a blank line, the formula also displays .5 I
thought if I entered
IS
NOT NULL in the formula, I would get the correct
answer but I get an error
message. What am I doing incorrectly?

=(VLOOKUP(D2,$H$2:$J$6,3)+IF(B20,0.5,0))
