Vlookup with no #N/A?
(Excel 2003)
Is there a way to fix a vlookup so when it doesn't find a value it just leaves the cell blank, instead of #N/A? It makes it hard for me to do sum and other things to the results. IF not blank to replace it with zero? |

Vlookup with no #N/A?
You have to put the Vlookup in an if statement
=if(isna(vlookup(...),"",vlookup(...)) or =if(isna(vlookup(...),0,vlookup(...))

Vlookup with no #N/A?
Hello
You can avoid errors with a test in your formula using ISERROR eg: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(....)),"",VLOOKUP(...)) HTH Cordially Pascal "dj479794" a écrit dans le message de news: ...

Vlookup with no #N/A?
I'm not sure if there is an easier way but I use an 'IF' and 'ISNA'. for
example: =if(isna(vlookup(a1,b1:c10,2,false))=true,"",vlook up(a1,b1:c10,2,false)) Basically, it says that if the vlookup returns #N/A then the true part of the IF statement returns "" (blank) alternatively it returns the value of the vlookup. I'm not doing very well posting advice on here but I hope this helps anyway!

In general terms, you need to do this:
=IF(ISNA(vlookup( ... )),"",vlookup( ... )) you can replace "" with 0 if you prefer. Hope this helps.
