You have to separate the OR conditions.


If ISNA is TRUE then the separate VLOOKUP will return #N/A causing the OR
to fail.


=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,0)),"",IF(V LOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$37*7,9,0)=0,"",VLOOKUP(A4,S at!$A$16:$J$377,9,0)))

=IF(OR(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,FALSE)),
VLOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,FALSE=0,"",VLOOKUP(A 4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,FALS*E))

This formula works if the data is present, however, I'm getting #N/A if
the
lookup cell (A4) doesn't exist, which it may not on some days.


=IF(VLOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,FALSE)0,VLOOKUP (A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,FA*LSE),"")


Can this formula be modified to also produce "" if the data representing
A4
does not exist ?


Thanks,

Would you not be better to test if A4 is blank rather than testing the
result of the VLookup formula? Using ISNA will filter genuine NA
messages too.

=IF(ISBLANK(A4),"",VLOOKUP(A4,Sat!$A$16:$J$377,9,F A*LSE))
