I can't figure out the if formula combined with my vlookup. I want it to to return a zero if it normally would return an #n/a as a result of the vlookup.
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
And if you have Excel 2007 or higher:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(...),0)

Thanks now that you helped me with that and it worked, it makes me think I should use some sort of a count formula. Ultimately, I am wanting to see if the date appears on a worksheet and tell me how many times that date appears. Of course I am not as familiar with Count formulas... I don't suppose you know those?

That would be COUNTIF

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,B1)

B1 = the date to look for
A1:A100 = the range to count how many times the date appears in.


Hope that helps.

Glad to help....

Don't worry, we all were novices at some point or another.
