Avoiding #N/A
Hi, I use a spreadsheet for invoicing and have a product code entered into a
column when a product (in column C) is selected. I also sometimes use this column to put a description in rather than pick a product. Can my formula be modified to avoid the #N/A appearing in the product code ? Current formula is =IF(C25<"",VLOOKUP(C25,Product_Data,2,FALSE)," ") Thanks |

=IF(C25<"",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C25,Product_Data,2,FAL SE)),"",VLOOKUP(C25,Product_Data,2,FALSE))," ") HTH Bob "gibbylinks" wrote in message ...

Avoiding #N/A
Hi,
If your want to just remove the #N/A, then try to use Iserror function like this, =IF(ISERROR(IF(C25<"",VLOOKUP(C25,product_data,2, FALSE)," ")),"-",IF(C25<"",VLOOKUP(C25,product_data,2,FALSE) ," ")) It will return - in that respective sell.

Avoiding #N/A
If you'll look at the subject line of the question and/or read' again, its
content [quote]: "Can my formula be modified to avoid the #N/A appearing in the product code ?" This is what my reply referred to. Does the above answer your question. I'm sure that if you would see a suggestion to add 5 cells - like: =A1+B1+C1+D1+E1 you would also comment that this can be shorten to: =SUM(A1:E1) Please take into consideration that my English is not good enough to argue so, please, do not push me into such.

Avoiding #N/A
I was supporting your original intervention within this thread by pointing
that no only is ISNA shorter then ISERROR, it is a better solution IMO. You decided to take umbrage with that so nothing answers my question as I didn't ask a question, and I don't care to get into arguments with people who get stroppy with those who endorse their comments.
