  Question
  I have a very large worksheet that I am using the following vlook up on

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(trim($D5),Dataentry!$D$9:$P$1508,12,0)),0,VLOOKUP(trim($D5),Dataentry!$D$9:$P$1508,12,0))
I am using the results of the lookup for another calculation, so I don't
want the return value from my look up to be N/A. Can you please tell me how
to make it 0 instead of the N/A when there is no match in the lookup sheet.
Thanks

  Answer
  Hi
your formula should do exactly what you request and it works when i test it
.... if you're using excel 2002 or excel 2003 can you spot what is wrong if
you click on the cell with the formula and use tools / formula auditing /
evaluate formula to step through it?

  I have a similair problem except that I need to add two lookup values. How
do I write this formula if one or the other could be either zero or non
existant - possibly even both. Let's assume 1 Vlookup value is Z and another
is B. There are four possible situations and I probably need a nested if
stated (in the cell) but don't know how. Logically I want to say:

If (Z=TRUE) AND (B=TRUE) THEN "0"
ELSEIF (Z=TRUE) AND (B=FALSE) THEN B
ELSEIF (Z=FALSE) AND (B=TRUE) THEN Z
ELSE (Z=FALSE) AND (B=FALSE_ THEN (Z=B)

  Hi

something along these lines?????

=IF(AND(Z=TRUE,B=TRUE),0,IF(AND(Z=FALSE,B=TRUE),Z=B,VLOOKUP(IF(AND(Z=TRUE,B=FALSE),B,Z),table_array,col_num,true_or_false)))

  Thanks JulieD - I'll try it after I return from lunch. I was so frustrated
that I temporarily gave up. You've given me hope to try again.

  Try using =IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(TRIM($G12),
instead of (ISNA(Vlookup(Trim$g$12
That took the N/A out of my worksheet. Hope this works for you.

  I understand all but the last section that begins with "table" Could you
tell me how this section should relate to my data?

  Hi

i understood that you were wanting to use the VLOOKUP function with the
possibility of two lookup values Z & B
when you said
---
Let's assume 1 Vlookup value is Z and another is B.
----
the VLOOKUP function as four parameters
=VLOOKUP(lookup_value, table_array,col_#_of_data_to_return,approx_match)
the lookup_value is either Z or B depending on the result of the IF
statement
however, you still need to fill in the rest of the VLOOKUP statement

if this doesn't make sense, please try explaining what you're after again
using the "real" data that you have because i found the Z & B concept a bit
difficult to comprehend.

  Hi,

I am dealing with the same problem however, the formula is not working for
me (office 2007). The formula I use is:
=VLOOKUP(C2;Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5000;5;FALSE)
I made out of this =if(isna(VLOOKUP(C2;Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5000;5;FALSE),0,VLOOKUP(C2;Sheet1!$A$1:$E$5000;5;FALSE))

Now I get a message the the formula contains an error...

What is wrong?

  Works A1 here - excel 2003

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G2,IPoperations!$A$2:$F$270,6,FALSE)), "",
VLOOKUP(G2,IPoperations!$A$2:$F$270,6,FALSE))

I wanted "nothing" instead of 0.

  You can use ISERROR like this: =IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),"",A1/B1) MathieuM;319393 Wrote: > Works A1 here - excel 2003 > > =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(G2,IPoperations!$A$2:$F$270,6,FALSE)), "", > VLOOKUP(G2,IPoperations!$A$2:$F$270,6,FALSE)) > > I wanted "nothing" instead of 0. > > "JeaneIsaac" wrote: > > > I have a very large worksheet that I am using the following vlook up > on > > > > > =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(trim($D5),Dataentry!$D$9:$P$1508,12,0)),0,VLOOKUP(trim($D5),Dataentry!$D$9:$P$1508,12,0)) > > I am using the results of the lookup for another calculation, so I > don't > > want the return value from my look up to be N/A.

  How can I use the formula IF(ISERROR) or ISNA etc., if i have like 6
verticallookups in one cell? It is possible that 3 of them have an output and
the other 3 are NA.

Thanks in advance
