    return zero in a VLOOKUP

    Hi,

    If i am doing a VLOOKUP to another sheet, and if it is not on that sheet, i want to return '0' rather than #N/A.

    What formula can i use please?

    I am currently using =IF(ISERROR((VLOOKUP(I2,'Rebate 6 wks'!$L$3:$M$77,2,FALSE))=0),0,VLOOKUP(I2,'Rebate 6 wks'!$L$3:$M$77,2,FALSE)). is there a shorter one?!

    Thanks

    Since you are using later than 2003 you can shorten using IFERROR(,) instead of IF(,,) and ISERROR() nested:
