This will work -

=if(vlookup(,,,)=[whatever the cause of the blank is],"",vlookup(,,,))

Try something like

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(...)),"",VLOOKUP(...))

Instead of returning a 0?

=if(vlookup()="","",vlookup())

And to get rid of the #n/a's:

=if(iserror(vlookup()),"missing",if(vlookup()=""," ",vlookup()))
