vlookup
 

I have a column containing a vlookup formula. With blank rows vlookup returns
#N/A. To handle those situations I would like to put the vlookup formula
inside an 'if' statement that returned a value other than #N/A;ie,
If(vlookup()= "#N/A" ,0,Vlookup(....) )". However, using "#N/A" as the
condition doesn't seem to work-is there something else that does?

hi Steve,

use IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(your formula here),"",VLOOKUP(you formula here)

please adjust the "(" as necessary

hope this helps

Steve, Marcelo's answer will work very well. However, if you want to be very
specific for the #NA error only, you can us
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(formula),"",VLOOKUP(formula))) instead. This would catch
#NA errors only, but if something else is wrong, then that would try to
return the true case which might show another error such as #VALUE.

This is just what I needed, but when I am getting an error on the "" in the
formula. I have tried just plain "", "0", and " ", but it still is not
working. Any ideas?

New query
 

Sorry for posting it here. Hope someone can answer this.

I have multiple worksheets Sheet1, Sheet2 .to..Sheet7 which keep
varying in length on a weekly basis and I wish to append all these
sheets into one Mainsheet "MAIN".

All these sheets have different columns and I want to add 3 blank rows
between each table in the "MAIN" sheet. I want to create a macro so
that this is automated. Can anyone help me on this?

I think you may be trying to reply to JLatham's suggestion of
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(formula),"",VLOOKUP(formula)))
in which case I think the problem is with the brackets.

Try
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(formula)),"",VLOOKUP(formula))
