#N/A entries
Where a vlookup returns #N/A as the answer, I need to be able to display this as zero - so that I can then include this cell in a furthur calculation.
Extracting figures >0 still includes #N/A.
Any ideas how to do this ?

RE: #N/A entries
Hi Sarah
Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.
You could try the following:
Create another formula in a separate cell that looks at the cell with the vlookup in it, and displays 0 if there is an #N/A error or displays the vlookup result if there is one.
The formula would look like this (say the vlookup formula is in cell B6):
=if(isna(B6),0,vlookup(cell,table array,column,false)
Then you can refer to the cell with the above formula in it in other formulas.
I hope this helps.
Amanda
