    Totalling VLOOKUP Data with #N/A's

    I am currently building a data sheet using VLOOKUP. When there is no data to lookup it returns #N/A, which is fine. The problem is when I go to total these columns because of the NA it returns NA in the total box.

    Having tried the if isna formula I am now returning #VALUE!.

    I may be doing the IF ISNA formula wrong, anybody got any ideas?

    Try:

    =SUMIF(E2:E7,"<>#N/A")

    adjust range to suit.

    or get rid of the N/A's by adding an error trap in the original Vlookup() formula.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Great, that has worked as well!

    Thanks, this has been a great help today.

    One thing-I have done the SOLVED on my previous post as you requested but it is still showing on the forum as unsolved. Should I be worried about this or does it take time to update?

    I just checked it that thread and I see it marked [Solved]. Not sure why you don't see it as such
