Formula have a VLOOKUP but want it to =0 if no value is found
Hi,
I have entered a VLOOKUP to search an Item no. and return the amount in sold in the month. The VLOOKUP returns the closest value from the nearest item no. Should I use an IF function so that it will only put in a value if the item number matches exactly? Can anyone help? Thank you in advance, Nicole |

First, set the range_lookup argument to 0 or FALSE. This will ensure that
*only* exact matches are found. =VLOOKUP("A",X:Y,2,0) Then, you'll have to add an error trap to the formula. Since you didn't post your formula this is a generic method of error trapping. =IF(ISNA(your_formula_here),0,your_formula_here) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Nicole" wrote in message ...
