I wrote a vlookup tutorial that covers this. You can read it here: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/Pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=446 Basically you need to nest it in an IF and ISNA formula and this article tells you how to do it. Linda F.

Do you know what I need to add to the formula to make it show as a blank cell when I do not have a value in the cell it is looking up? Thank you for any help you can offer. I think I have used "" in some way before, but I can't get it to work today.
