Hi Claudia

You are not saying what you want to look up.
If it is the value in A3, then the formula should be
=IF(A3="","",VLOOKUP(A3,DATA,2))

If it is something else that you wish to lookup, provided that A3 is Null
then
=IF(A3="",VLOOKUP(somethingelse,DATA,2),"")

And if the OP is looking for an exact match:

=IF(A3="","",VLOOKUP(A3,DATA,2,False))
