    vlookup formula:help please

    i have a simple vlookup formula that works eg

    =VLOOKUP(C11,C108:D158,2,)

    but when there is nothin in c11 i get a nasty #n/a appear

    so i created this formula

    =IF(C3=0,??????,VLOOKUP(C3,C101:D151,2,))

    what can i put in the ?????? to have a blank cell

    Hi,

    replace ?????? with ""

    You could also try

    =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C11,C108:D158,2,)),"",VLOOKUP(C11,C108:D158,2,))

    how can i change the formula so that the cells in red do not change when i drag the cell down to copy into the lower cells

    =IF(C3=0,"",VLOOKUP(C3,C101:D151,2,))

    Make them Absolute with the $ sign.

    =IF(C3=0,"",VLOOKUP(C3,$C$101:$D$151,2,))

    Take a look at the link below and look at Chip Pearson site.
