Default #VALUE! displayed when referencing a formula cell


I'm using a IF,ISNA,VLOOPUP string in a cell to obtain a price from a
seperate sheet.

However, a seperate cell is set to perform a calculation on this number
that is obtained from the above string.

The problem is that unless the user has entered the required text to
enable the vlookup to obtain the figure, the other column just lists
#value! all the way down...

How do i get it to display and empty cell... I suspect that it's caused
by excel attempting to calculate a result from a formula.. or it that
incorrect.

To summarise as an example
Cell A1, the user enters a search string
Cell A2, contains a Vlookup to search based on A1
Cell A3, contains a calculation that is to be performed on A2
Problem, Where A1 (and therefore A2) dont contain data, A3 displays
#VALUE!

cheers in advance
barry
