Have done a ton of searching, can't find the answer to this. I simply want a cell to execute a VLOOKUP if ANY value exists in another cell.

As an example, E2 executes a vlookup on C2 if any value exists A2. If no value exists in A2, then E2 is blank.

Thanks everyone, I'm guessing I just have a brain lock but can't figure this baby out, take care.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Sure; let's say that in column E2 there is a vlookup that looks in another sheets table based on the value in C2 - however, if there is no value at all in A2, then don't execute, keep it blank. But if there is a value in A2, then go ahead and execute the vlookup.
