I have the following formula below

where the first 2 characters in Col A are 19, 17, 16 then it must return zero, otherwise use the Vlookup to lookup then value

i get #spill when using the formula below

Code:
 =IF(A1="","",IF(LEFT($A1,2)={"19","17","16"},0,VLOOKUP($A1&"",GoupSales.xlsx]BR1'!$A:$D,4,FALSE)))

It would be appreciated if someone could amend my formula

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Try adding the blue text where shown
IF(OR(LEFT($A1,2)={"19","17","16"}),0
