vlookup
 

I am using the following:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(D6,Pri_Bus_Unit,2,FALSE)),"",( VLOOKUP(D6,Pri_Bus_Unit,2,FALSE)))

It is returning a 0 (zero) instead of a blank cell. The cells are formatted
as general. Even if I am using "-" a dash it is returning zero.

Any thoughts?

vlookup
 

Change TO:
=IF(OR(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(...)),VLOOKUP(...)=0,"",VLO OKUP(...))
If the value in D6 exists, but the value to its right in the vlookup table
is blank, that does NOT produce an error, so ISERROR and ISNA won't handle
it. You have to say if it's zero, you want nothing or Tools--Options--View
and uncheck zero values.

I don't think that your OR will work the way you want if there is no match.

You could check (up to three times):

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)),"",
IF(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)="","",VLOOKUP(A1 ,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)))

or since you want to see "", you could check up to twice:

=IF(ISERROR(1/LEN(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE))),"",
VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE))

(change the range/range names to what you want.)
