i have a VLOOKUP formula which returns a date value and i have formatted
the
cells to be in date format. however when a value cannot be found (ie.
returns
0) the format changes the 0 to 0/01/1900. how can i stop this? id want the
cell to be blank if there is no value.

appreciate your help, thanks!
