#VALUE! ERROR
I have a vlookup in a number of cells that is activated once another cell has
a value entered into it. The vlookup works just fine. #VALUE! diplays in the cell until the data entry is entered. Is there a way to make the cell blank until the data is entered? Here is my current formula =VLOOKUP(VALUE(M4),$U$13:$V$16,2,FALSE) |

#VALUE! ERROR
Try using an IF formula.

#VALUE! ERROR
If M4 is an *empty* cell VALUE(M4) evaluates to 0.
If M4 contains a formula that might return text that is not converted by VALUE (like a formula blank "") then VALUE(M4) evalutes to #VALUE!. A generic error trap that traps *all* errors: =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(VALUE(M4),$U$13:$V$16,2,0)),"" ,VLOOKUP(VALUE(M4),$U$13:$V$16,2,0)) You might be able to concentrate it on just M4: =IF(ISERROR(VALUE(M4)),"",VLOOKUP(VALUE(M4),$U$13: $V$16,2,0)) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "BAKERSMAN" wrote in message ...
