    What alternatives to the IFERROR function are available in Excel 2016/Office365?

    Hello I am looking for help with the following formula.

    I have a IF formula using a VLOOKUP

    =IF((VLOOKUP(A2,'[MySource.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B$2:$L$251,2,FALSE))=0,"",VLOOKUP(A2,'[MySource.xlsx]Sheet1'!$B$2:$L$251,2,FALSE))

    This works great once my worksheets and workbooks are populated. My problem is creating a new worksheet for future use. When I enter the formula into a page with no data in column A, I get the #N/A error. This does not look very professional. I am trying to clean this up with an IFERROR but I end up getting a "Too many arguments" error.

    My goal is to have the page appear Blank.

    Re: IF and IFERROR with VLOOKUP

    Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to re-read forum rule #1 and then amend your thread title to something that better explains your problem. Changing your thread title is not optional, which means you must change it. Thanks!

    • Use concise, accurate thread titles.
    • Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.
    • Use terms appropriate to a Google search - poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice tell us nothing.
    • Responding to a request to change your thread title by doing so is mandatory.

    To change a title go to your first post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title.

    No help to be offered, please, until the OP complies with this request.

    Try:

    =IFERROR(1/(1/VLOOKUP(A2,[MySource.xlsx]Sheet1!$B$2:$L$251,2,FALSE)),"")
