Default Using a cell with a formula in it for lookup value

Still no values. What's sheet 2!A2? What's sheet 2!Q2?
What's in column A of your lookup table?
On which sheet is the VLOOKUP formula?

Please be precise

| The formula inside A2 (the lookup value) is:
| =IF('sheet 2'!Q2=FALSE,TRIM('sheet 2'!A2),0)
