I am using vlookup to calculate a value which is wroking great. However, if
another cell has a zero value, I want my vlookup cell to be zero as well.

cell D22...=VLOOKUP(D18,B33:C49,2)

I want to add to the above formula... if another cell (D21) calculation
result is zero, make this cell (D22) zero as well.

What would the new formula be?

Thank you!

=IF(D21=0,0,VLOOKUP(D18,B33:C49,2))

This however will return zero even in D21 is empty. To avoid that then use:

=IF(D21="","",IFD21=0,0,VLOOKUP(D18,B33:C49,2)))

You're very welcome - hope that you did not try to use the 2nd formula
because I see that I left out an opening parenthesis. It should have been

=IF(D21="","",IF(D21=0,0,VLOOKUP(D18,B33:C49,2)))

So much for editing in the post without testing!
