I am using the VLOOKUP function to extract values from another worksheet. Can someone please suggest how I alter the function to return a blank cell when the Lookup_Value is not found in the worksheet from which I’m calling data?
Thanks!

Nest it within an IF statement
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(.....),"",VLOOKUP(.....))
ISNA returns True if your vlookup returns a #N/A error and False if it doesn't.
Does that work for you?

substitute commas with semi-colons if your region settings requires

If using XL2007+
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(....),"")
if using other versions...
=IF(ISNA(Vlookup()),"",VLOOKUP())
or
=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(lookup_value,first_column_of_lookup_range,0)),Vlookup(),"")
or, if result is supposed to be text:
=Lookup(Rept("z",255),Choose({1,2},"",Vlookup()))
or, if result is supposed to be number:
=Lookup(9.9999e+307,Choose({1,2},0,Vlookup())) and format as Custom: 0;-0;;@
Where there is a will there are many ways.
