    VLOOKUP using a NULL or BLANK field as the lookup_value

    Can the vlookup function be able to use a lookup_value that is BLANK or NULL. I have a table that returns a BLANK cell occasionally in the column used for the "lookup_value". I would like the vlookup function to still work by looking up a NULL field. Something like isnull () or isblank(). Thanks in advance.

    yes, adjust your vlookup to...=vlookup(criteria,range,"",column)
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
