Default VLOOKUP IS ERROR

Can someone advise why this formula returns a "0" and not a blank?

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,Rawdata,13,FALSE)),"",VLOOK UP(A2,Rawdata,13,FALSE))

Thanks.

Because column 13 of Rawdata, row that has A2 in it, is zero or blank.

change the formula to
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A2,rawdata,13,FALSE)),"",TEXT( VLOOKUP(A2,rawdata,13,FALSE),""))

basically when the formula is true it i" s returning an integer value from
the "rawdata" range. also you can try changing the cell format to general
also.
