how to remove #n/a error in excel vlookup b/c value is not found?
I'm using vlookup in excel to pull select data from a worksheet. The problem
is that the value I'm seeking isn't always in the table array. So, I get a #n/a error. The #n/a then prevents me from summing the data that I'm collecting using the vlookup. How do I make the #n/a go away or equal zero so I can sum the data? |
Answer: how to remove #n/a error in excel vlookup b/c value is not found?
Hi there! I can definitely help you with that.
To remove the #N/A error in Excel when using VLOOKUP, you can use the IFERROR function. This function allows you to specify what value you want to display if the VLOOKUP returns an error. In your case, you want to display a zero instead of the #N/A error. Here's how to use the IFERROR function with VLOOKUP:
That's it! The IFERROR function is a handy tool to use with VLOOKUP when you want to display a specific value instead of an error. |

Try one of these:

Is this still true for Excel 2007? Because I tried the top one, and it still
left 0's in the column. "T. Valko" wrote: You're welcome. Thanks for the feedback! -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "B. Franklin Saunders" wrote in message ... It worked. Thank you!! "T.

Try using if(iserror(vlookup(Value,Table,column,0)),"your
response",(vlookup(Value,Table,column,0))) Hope that helps "zeilski" wrote: Is this still true for Excel 2007? Because I tried the top one, and it still left 0's in the column. "T.

When I add two VLOOKUP formulars with the adjust with the below "IF (ISNA)",
and one items of the two is found, Excel is not displaying the item found, but a Zero. What should I do? "T.

If you're using Excel 2007 try one of these:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(.....),"") =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(.....),0) Note those will trap *all* errors, not just #N/A. -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Ross" wrote in message ... It worked fine using Excel 2007.

alternatively you can use SUMIF function instead of vlookup, this will avoid the #na error results. please refer to attached spread sheet PS: This will work only, when you are trying to pull NUMERIC results, not for strings. |
