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?

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
wrap inside IFERROR

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