    Sure, a brute force method is this:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(...)=0,"text",VLOOKUP(...))

    Assuming that none of the 0's are actually supposed to be there.

    =VLOOKUP(A2,WFR!B:H,7,FALSE) is my formula where would i put 0="text"

    Here:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(A2,WFR!B:H,7,FALSE)=0,"your text here",VLOOKUP(A2,WFR!B:H,7,FALSE))

    You can try this:

    =IF(VLOOKUP(A2,WFR!B:H,7,FALSE)=0,"text",VLOOKUP(A2,WFR!B:H,7,FALSE))

    The red font shows your original formula.
