Vlookup Returning #n/a
I have a large workbook that I am using vlookup in. It is returning #n/a wher
e there is no data to pull. I am trying to add another formula to pull a range of numbers from the main sheet. It works fine as long as there are no NA's in the data I am pulling from. I need to know how to change the formula to not return the N/A but not ruin the formula if the data is there to be pulled. Thanks in advance for any help |
Vlookup Returning #n/a
The usual way of doing this is:
=IF(ISNA(your_vlookup),"",your_vlookup) or you might have a zero instead of "", or some other message like "not present". Hope this helps.

Vlookup Returning #n/a
To return a 0:
=if(isna(vlookup(...)),0,vlookup(....)) To return an empty string: =if(isna(vlookup(...)),"",vlookup(....)) If you're using xl2007, you could use: =iferror(vlookup(...),0) or =iferror(vlookup(...),"") Toolbar Confused wrote: I have a large workbook that I am using vlookup in.
