I have a table with either numbers or #N/A in the cells. I am writing a simple VLOOKUP formula to grab data from that table, the problem is when the result is #N/A the formula returns 0 (zero). How can I get the formula to return what is in the cell, whether its a number or #N/A? Thanks!

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.
It should return whatever is in the cell, if it is not then it means that the formula is not matching to the row that you think it is.
