return value other than #N/A

[mtbrindamour via OfficeKB.com]

I have a spreadsheet utilizing a VLOOKUP- VLOOKUP(A1,Tariff,4,false). Upon
the false lookup, the formula returns #N/A, and a true lookup returns a
dollar amount. In the next column, I want to put a value based on the
VLOOKUP return, and if it is #N/A to put a blank. I cannot seem to get any
valuse returned in the second column other than #N/A if a false lookup occurs.
Does anyone know how I do this?

This formula in some cell will give a blank cell if A1 has an error, and
will give what's in A1 if not. HTH Otto
=IF(ISERROR(A1),"",A1)
