All sorted - must have been a slip of the finger!

Another question sorry! I have copied down the cell as per your mail; if the part no. column is empty the description cell shows #n/a, is there a way of showing a blank cell if there is nothing in the part no. column?

How to total the visible cells?
From the first blank cell below a filtered data set, press Alt+=. Instead of SUM, you will get SUBTOTAL(9,)
wrap inside IFERROR

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A27,Product!A:B,2,0),"")
