Vlookup help required
the lookup I am using is: =VLOOKUP(A21,Physical!$C$5:$AN$114,27,FALSE) I am using the lookup in a large series of consecutive rows and columns and within the table array there are empty cells. I need the lookup to return the value of all cells but when it arrives at a blank cell I need it to return a blank cell. Currently when it arrives at a blank cell it returns the date 00-Jan-00. can anyone help? Thanks in advance!! -- Pedros ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pedros's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28202 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=517645 |

We could use an IF error trap:
=IF(VLOOKUP(A21,Physical!$C$5:$AN$114,27,FALSE)=0, "", VLOOKUP(A21,Physical!$C$5:$AN$114,27,FALSE)) but it comes at a cost of increased calc load & slower performance, especially if there's lots of such formulas in the sheet/book Another (possibly better?) option is simply to switch off the display of zeros* in the sheet, via clicking Tools Options View tab Uncheck "Zero values" OK *"00-Jan-00" is simply a zero, if cell is formatted as date (dd-mmm-yy) -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Pedros" wrote in message ... the lookup I am using is: =VLOOKUP(A21,Physical!$C$5:$AN$114,27,FALSE) I am using the lookup in a large series of consecutive rows and columns and within the table array there are empty cells.

Problem solved. This was the statement that solved the problem: =IF(VLOOKUP(A9,Physical!$C$5:$AN$194,26,FALSE)="", "",VLOOKUP('MSE Delivery Plan'!A9,Physical!$C$5:$AN$194,26,FALSE)) -- Pedros ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Pedros's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=28202 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=517645 |
