Thanks for the help. One thing I did discover after modifying the
formula, is that the order had to be change.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP($C2,table,5,FALSE)),"",IF(VLOOKUP($C2,table,5,FALSE)=0,""
,(VLOOKUP($C2,table,5,FALSE))))
In the original formula, it was looking for the zero first, the problem
was, that the second part of the if statement didn't work. I found that
what I should have done was have it check first to see if the name was
actually in the table_array, and if not, make the cell blank, else, now
check and see if there's no entry in the column to return.
Thought I'd share that for future reference.

Try this version:
=IF(VLOOKUP(c10,table,5,FALSE)=0,"",IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C6,table,5,FALSE)),"
",VLOOKUP(C6,table,5,FALSE)))

Subject: [mso] Excel Vlookup, if, isna formula
I have two tables which I need to use vlookup with. I have a possibility
of two "error" conditions. The first is that a name on the table isn't on
the lookup table array, this will result in the #NA. The other is that
the name exists, but there is nothing in the column index field to return,
which results in a 0 (zero). This formula works for the second condition,
if the result of the lookup is 0, then I want the cell blank.
=IF(VLOOKUP(c10,table,5,FALSE)=0,"")
This formula works for the first condition, if the result of the lookup is
#NA, then it makes the cell blank.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C6,table,5,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(C6,table,5,FALSE))
But when I put the two formulas together, Excel tells me there is an
error, but not where, it highlights the whole formula.
=IF(vlookup(c7,table,5,false)=0,"",if((ISNA(VLOOKUP(C7,table,5,FALSE)),"
",VLOOKUP(C7,table,5,FALSE))))
Can anyone see an error in the formula above or advise me what to do?
Thanks,
