Vlookup problem

[Debbie]

Hi!

The problem I am having is in the lookup table, sometimes row 5 is
empty. When it is, it puts a zero in my cell. I want it to be blank.
Can I do this? I have pasted my formula.

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A$1:$S$5000,5,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A
$1:$S$5000,5,FALSE))

Sorry, column 5 not row 5

Well, it's a bit messy, but you could do this:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A$1:$S$5000,5,0)),"",IF(VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A
$1:$S$5000,5,0)="","",VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A$1:$S$5000,5,0)))

Hope this helps.

What is the data type of the returned value?

If it's TEXT try this:

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A$1:$S$5000,5,0)),"",T(VLOOKUP($A7,BB!$A
$1:$S$5000,5,0)))

If it's numeric will 0 be an otherwise valid result?
