I cannot use ;;""; because it returns no value. I need the value to remain

I am using the =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(...)),0,VLOOKUP(...)) to return a zero value.
For printing purposes I need the 0 to not show in the cell (blank cell). I
can do this by using the accounting format, but a dash (-) still shows in the
cell. The sheet is protected to protect the formula. How can I protect AND
not show anything in the cell WHILE keeping the value at "0"?
