Default How can I have a false Vlookup give a blank instead of #N/A?

I'm looking up values in a column using the VLOOKUP with the FALSE included
so that if the lookup item isn't present, I purposely get a "#N/A". Can I
nest an "IF" statement so that if the vlookup returns a "#N/A", I want it to
appear blank instead of getting the "#N/A"? Thanks.

Thanks, Peo. That solves the problem. I also then noticed that this
question is a common one that has been solved many times.
