Default Return 0 when if statement with VLOOKUP returns#N/A

Hi,

If you are using 2007 you can simplify this to

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A15,'Talla#2'!A1:G1266,5,),0)

This is not only shorter, but is is computer efficient, because VLOOKUP is a
resource intensive function and using the old way meant that if there was no
error Excel calculated the lookup twice!

I am using a formula to return #N/A when a value cannot be found on a lookup
or the actual value if found. I keep getting the message I have a formula
error which then highlights "0" as the error in the formula. Formula being
used is;
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A15,'Talla#2'!A1:G1266,5,false),0 ,VLOOKUP(A15,'Talla#2'!A4:G1280,5,false), or if I use ,"", to return blank I get the same error message.
Can anyone see where I might be going wrong. Using Excel 2003.
