if vlookup
I'm using a vlookup to populate my summary sheet with data from the MASTER
DATABASE sheet =VLOOKUP($B2, 'MASTER DATABASE'!$A:$AY,8,FALSE) The above formula works fine - except for when the cell where I am pulling the data from is blank. Excel then returns a value of 0 and I want the cell to remain blank. I know this is some variation of an IF statement but can't get it to work. Thank you. |

if vlookup
=IF(VLOOKUP($B2, 'MASTER DATABASE'!$A:$AY,8,FALSE)="","",VLOOKUP($B2, 'MASTER
DATABASE'!$A:$AY,8,FALSE)) See if this does the trick, if it is blank it should stay blank otherwise it will calculate your formula.

if vlookup
Try this:
=IF(VLOOKUP($B2, 'MASTER DATABASE'!$A:$AY,8,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP($B2, 'MASTER DATABASE'!$A:$AY,8,FALSE)) Alternatively, you could keep the formula as it is and apply conditional formatting to the cell, such that if the cell contents is zero then choose the foreground colour to be white, so that a zero will show up as a blank. Hope this helps.

This formual returns "#N/A" for everything, even cells that have data in them.

My apologies, tough to check some of these formulas without actual data. I
think if you follow what Pete has posted it will work as he is checking to see if the result = 0 where i had erroneously checked for a "".
