Default Vlookup producing "#n/a"

hi there,

my equation is producing a "#n/a" as a result - I wish it to produce a "0"
or no response on the negative result as another cell is summing the
responses, and needs blanks cells instead of "#n/a". The equation is

=VLOOKUP(D27,countries,2,0)

"countires" = a table with a list of country names in column A and a 1 in
coloumn 2.

Thank you for you help with this.

Try this:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D27,countries,2,FALSE));"0";VL OOKUP(D27,countries,2,FALSE))

Hi,

,"0", ....just wanted to point out that only text needs to be inside quotes

another way around this is to use a SUMIF function instead of just SUM

=SUMIF(A1:A10,"<#N/A",A1:A10)

Cheers!
