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!

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
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.
