I have a syntax problem. I have a function that works perfectly below, when the answer is true, I get the number i was looking for, else I get an N/A. I have tried using ISNA, but I can't quite get the syntax right.

=IF(MATCH(planPhase1,TrainingPhase,0)*plantraineehours,plantraineehours,0)

Again the above statement is fine,
I thought the following would work
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(planPhase1,TrainingPhase,0)*plantraineehours,plantraineehours,0),"")

then I tried
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(planPhase1,TrainingPhase,0),"")*plantraineehours,plantraineehours,0)

Can anyone tell me what is the correct placement of the ISNA syntax for this formula

Welcome to the board...

You almost had it with the first try, just misplased the ) and ""

Try
=IF(ISNA(MATCH(planPhase1,TrainingPhase,0)*plantraineehours),"",plantraineehours)
