I am working with a VLOOKUP formula. How can I subsitute the #N/A into a 0?

I don't want the results to say #N/A if it does not find the value. I want it to show 0.

Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advanced!!
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).

If your VLOOKUP formula looks like

=VLOOKUP(A1,$E$2:$G$40,2,FALSE)

use:

=IF(COUNTIF($E$2:$E$40,A2),VLOOKUP(A1,$E$2:$G$40,2,0),0)

If your VLOOKUP formula looks like

=VLOOKUP(A1,$E$2:$G$40,2,TRUE)

or

If your VLOOKUP formula looks like

=VLOOKUP(A1,$E$2:$G$40,2)

use:

=IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,$E$2:$E$40)),=VLOOKUP(A1,$E$2:$G$40,2),0)

What formula are you using?

Aladin made excellent recommendations just a little earlier.

- slightly edited -

=IF(AND(LEN(A2),COUNTIF(XXXX,A2)),VLOOKUP(A2,XXXXY,2,0),0)

In English, if A2 is blank and A2 is not in range named XXXX, 0.

Otherwise lookup A2 in Database XXXXY

Or if you dont want to supress your '0's on your worksheet, maby something like this. =IF(COUNTIF($E$2:$E$40,A2),VLOOKUP(A2,$E$2:$G$40,2,0)," ")

Return your VLOOKUP results to a hidden column and use an IF function to test for presence of #N/A.

=IF(ISNA(A2),0,A2)
