"#N/A" -- can I convert to a "0" (zero)?
 
I have just learned to pull query data into a spreadsheet through VLOOKUP.
However some years have no data in the query and it returns an #N/A in the
cell. I cannot figure out how to convert those to a '0'. Any master of
Excel out there have any suggestions?

Thanks in Advance!

You need to trap the error: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP([your vlookup
formula])),0,VLOOKUP([your vlookup formula]))

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G2,C1:E24,2,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP(G2, C1:E24,2,FALSE))
