is there a way to avoid getting the #N/A as a response
when I do a Lookup? i would simply rather return a blank.

=IF(ISNA(your formula),"",your formula)

Can be done in various ways, but the key issue is why you are getting that
error in the first place. Can you share more info? |:)

Check for the error in your formula:

=if(iserror(yourformula),"",yourformula)

Try something like this...

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(.....)),"",VLOOKUP(.....))

Hope this helps!

Frank

=If(ISNA(VLOOKUP(cell,table,col,false)),"",VLOOKUP (cell,table,col,false))

OR

=IF(ISNA(LOOKUP(value,range1,range2)),"",LOOKUP(va lue,range1,range2))
