Blank Cell
I am using VLOOKUP to find and enter an associated time value in a cell (D2)
that is referencing another cell (D1). D1 generally blank until a text choice is made using a drop-down list. I would like to not have the #N/A message in D2 when D1 is blank. I could put in a generic character (such as ?) and use the IF function. However, I was wondering if there is a way determine a blank cell directly using the IF function? |
Blank Cell
To determine blank cell, just type two quotation marks:
=If(D1="", True, False) "quattda" wrote: I am using VLOOKUP to find and enter an associated time value in a cell (D2) that is referencing another cell (D1).

If it helps, I use a UDF to return zero (or you could change this value to suit yourself) if VLOOKUP returns #N/A: Function NewVLookup(Value As Variant, Table As Variant, _ ColIndex As Integer, RangeLookup As Boolean) As Variant With Application If .IsNA(.VLookup(Value, Table, _ ColIndex, RangeLookup)) Then NewVLookup = 0 ' <========== or put your own value here Else NewVLookup = .VLookup(Value, Table, ColIndex, RangeLookup) End If End With End Function |
