The formula below that is in W247 works correctly. You will notice if the lookup finds a value (the secondary VLOOKUP logis), that the formula returns the value in column 9.
But if the value for column 9 is blank, then I want blank returned.
Currently Excel is populating the value of "1/0/00"
I am struggling with fitting an ISBLANK condition into this formula.
Can someone please assist?


=IF(D247<>"",D247,IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(O247,'G-Block CMO-FMO and IP Ranges '!$A$61:$I$400,7,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(O247,'G-Block CMO-FMO and IP Ranges '!$A$61:$I$400,9,FALSE)))
 

Excel Facts

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Hi, this is returning value 0 for you and it is in date format m/d/yy.

If you want to change that then without going into too much modification this should work:

Code:
=IF(D247<>"",D247,IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP(O247,'G-Block CMO-FMO and IP Ranges'!$A$61:$I$400,7,FALSE)),"",IF(VLOOKUP(O247,'G-Block CMO-FMO and IP Ranges'!$A$61:$I$400,9,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP(O247,'G-Block CMO-FMO and IP Ranges'!$A$61:$I$400,9,FALSE))))

Apparently you have a date format in the cell.
Change the format of the cell to:

dd/mm/aaaa;;"";@
