How do you remove or exclude #N/A
from a Vlookup formula

RE: VLookups
Hi Naaz
Thanks for getting in touch.
The best way to mask #N/A errors from the VLOOKUP is to nest it in an IFERROR function. IFERROR looks like this:
=IFERROR(formula, error message)
So your VLOOKUP formula could be modified like this:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,B1:C6,2,FALSE),0)
You will need to modify the contents of your VLOOKUP to match yours. The 0 on the end is what is displayed instead of the #N/A error. Alternatives could include: "" would show a blank cell; "Error" for a more obvious error message.
Kind regards
