VLOOKUP returns 0 (zero) when lookup cell is blank
I have two columns of data that I vlookup to. They both contain text,
numbers and some blank cells. Column 1 returns blanks correctly but column 2 returns 0. Is it a formatting issue? Any help is appreciated. |

You should test for blanks:
=IF(VLOOKUP(3,A1:B3,2,FALSE)="","",VLOOKUP(3,A1:B3 ,2,FALSE)) -- Gary''s Student - gsnu201001 "C.T." wrote: I have two columns of data that I vlookup to.

VLOOKUP returns 0 (zero) when lookup cell is blank
Is there a reason why my column 1 data is returning blank correctly but not
from column 2? Here is my equation: =VLOOKUP(A10, property2, 12, FALSE) Thanks!

Your formula points at column 12 of the property2 range.

My data is reference through a defined name = property2. Column 12 is the
column that is pulling in the 0 data. "Dave Peterson" wrote: Your formula points at column 12 of the property2 range.

VLOOKUP returns 0 (zero) when lookup cell is blank
So you had a typo in your question?
Is there a reason why my column 1 data is returning blank correctly but not from column 2? What is being returned incorrectly? What's in A10? I think you're going to have to share some more details.
