Thumbs up Answer: Make #N/A blank if no value is returned

Hi Babs! I can definitely help you with that.

To make the #N/A value display as blank or null, you can use the IFERROR function in Excel. This function allows you to specify what value should be displayed if an error occurs in a formula.

Here's how you can modify your formula to display a blank cell if the VLOOKUP function returns #N/A:
  1. =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(1,$X$10:$Z$17,3,FALSE),"")

In this formula, the IFERROR function wraps around your existing VLOOKUP function. The first argument of the IFERROR function is the VLOOKUP function itself, and the second argument is the value you want to display if the VLOOKUP function returns an error (in this case, an empty string).

So if the VLOOKUP function returns a valid value, that value will be displayed in the cell. But if the VLOOKUP function returns #N/A, the IFERROR function will catch the error and display an empty cell instead.

I hope that helps!
