I'm using the following formula in cell C3:
=INDEX(LastName,MATCH(A3,EmpID,0))

When I type in an employee ID in A3, his/her last name shows in C3.
However, when there is no value in A3, C3 shows error "#N/A".
Is there a way to show a blank cell in C3 until a value is entered into A3?

Try:

=IF(A3="", "", INDEX(LastName,MATCH(A3,EmpID,0))
