Default =LOOKUP (show a blank if not available)


Have a few LOOKUP arguments setup in a sheet. I need for it to show a
blank if there is no value instead of the #N/A error. Anyone know how
to do this?

Try this...
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(formula),"",LOOKUP(formula))

You could use something like this:

=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP()),"",LOOKUP())

Thanks guys!

I am familiar with ISERROR but I was wondering if there was another
way.

Just curious I guess. hehe.:)

Care to post the LOOKUP formula you have if it's indeed one with the
LOOKUP function?

You could try:

=IF(ISNA(LOOKUP(formula),"",LOOKUP(formula))

This will only replace #N/A with "", but will report other errors.

Hope this helps.

instead of iserror you could use

if(isblank(lookup(....),"",lookup(...))

-I tries ISBLANK in the same syntax you have shown above but for some
reason it still show a 0? Not sure why but there is no error it just
displays a -0.
