    Unhappy Avoiding a return of #N/A from a formula result

    =IF(H19>0," ",IF(H19=0,(VLOOKUP(A19,Residents1,8,FALSE))))

    Using the above formula I occasionally get a #N/A result (especially when the search array hasn't been updated) and I think the best way to avoid this is to introduce ISNA (?)

    Any help appreciated

    Use this:

    IFERROR(your formula,"")

    Hi Glenn

    If I use:

    =IFERROR(H19>0," ",IF(H19=0,(VLOOKUP(A19,Residents1,8,FALSE))))

    The return message says there are too few arguments.

    Your formula begins with an IF, but you haven't put that within the IFERROR.

    Hope this helps.

    Yep, that's the problem. To reiterate Posts 2 & 3..

    IFERROR(All of your formula,"")
