I am using vlookup but some results are #n/a. How can i avoid it so that my
sum formula will not show #n/a.

Thanks

Rechie

=IF(ISNA(vlookup_formula),"",vlookup_formula)

If you have Excel 2007

=IF(ISERROR(vlookup_formula),"")

"Wrap" your VLOOKUP() in an error trap for #N/A like this:

Your formula:
=VLOOKUP(A1,B1:E5,3,False)
to prevent display of #N/A
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,B1:E5,3,False)),"",VLOOKUP(A1, B1:E5,3,False))

Assume your to be summed data is in range D1:D20.
In D21 try the following Array-Firmula:
{=SUM(IF(ISNA(D1:D20),0,D1:D20))}
*** NOTE:
The formula is to be confirmed with CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER rather than with simply
ENTER.
The curly brackets {} are not to be typed manually, those are entered by the
€œExcel€�, when the formula is entered as an Array formula.

It looks like: ISERROR but sounds like: IFERROR
Isn't it ?

.

{=SUM(IF(ISNA(D1:D20),0,D1:D20))}

Another way to write that:

=SUMIF(D1:D20,"<1E100")

Or:

=SUMIF(D1:D20,"<#N/A")
