Have VLookup Return Blank Cell Rather Than N/A Or 0?

Aug 3, 2012

I have a Vlookup, it returns a number, and when it doesn't find a match it returns N/A, and when it does return a match and the return value cell is blank, it returns 0. Is there any way I can have this so when it doesn't find a match, it returns a blank cell, and when it finds a match and there is no value in the return cell, it returns a blank cell as well, rather than 0?

Vlookup To Return Blank Cell Instead Of #N/A

Aug 15, 2009

is there anyway to have a vlookup formula display a blank cell instead of #N/A if the value it was looking for is not found. For example the first spreadsheet contains the persons name say Bob, the 2nd spreadsheet that the vlookup formula is searching does not contain the name Bob right now excel shows #N/A but what I want it to show is a blank cell. I've tried conditional formating to just white out the text if #N/A appears but can't seem to get that to work.

How To Return Blank Result If No Match For VLOOKUP

Jun 25, 2008

I'm using this formula (thanks to dafan & HalfAce [url]
=IF(VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$C$787,3,FALSE)=0,"",VLOOKUP($A177,$A$736:$I$787,3,FALSE))
to return the value located in the 3rd column of the range when the value in the 1st column of the range matches the data in A177.

However, there isn't a match for the data in A178 in the range, so the formula returns "#N/A". I would like the cell containing the formula to remain blank in those instances.

Return Blank If Concatenating With Blank Cell?

Apr 3, 2014

in one column of my spreadsheet and it is returning the correct concatenation for the appropriate lines. However, I wish to have the column's cells return an answer of blank (" ") if B15, B16... etc is blank. In other words, at the moment, a correct answer would read something like '1810sd0000' C10 and B15 used, while an incorrect answer would still display '1810', but I want it to be a blank cell.

Return A Blank Cell

Jul 23, 2008

I am using Excel 2000

I am using the "IF" formula to pull in data into a forms section. I then save the forms section as a CSV file.

When the IF statement returns the "false" value, it is looking to pull over a "blank" cell. When that happems, a "0" pulls over. I tried to put a "" in the blank cell, but while the output of the formulaa looks "Blank" when I convert the tab to CSV, the output is a quote mark ".
I need the formula to display a real BLANK cell or something that acts like a blank cell

Return First Non-blank Cell In Row

Oct 5, 2007

I'm trying to do several things. I have 6 columns (A:F) with column headers and 12 rows of data and not every cell has a number as its content. Some cells are blank. I have attached my file.

Using Row 2 as my example:
1.) I want to return the contents of the FIRST non-blank cell in the range (A2:F2) in cell I2.
2.) If I2 is not blank, then I want to return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number content of cell I2.
3.) I want to return the contents of NEXT non-blank cell in A2:F2 in cell K2.
4.) If K2 is not blank, then return the column header (text) which corresponds to the resulting number of K2.

I will then repeat the 3rd & 4th scenarios in columns L thru S.

What I’m trying to do is place all non-blank data up in the first-foremost columns (H thru S) as I possibly can so I can use the data from these new columns (H thru S) as my merge fields in a Word document.

VLOOKUP Returns Blank Cell

May 14, 2008

The following formula: =IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(C11,$D$139:$E$149,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(C11,$D$139:$E$149,2,FALSE)) (located in cell D11) looks in cell C11 Baseball Players Shirt Numbers then looks in the range $D$139:$E$149 to find the Players Name and place the Players Name in cell D11, but in this case cell D11 is blank. The table ($D$139:$E$149) is laid-out as follows; no headers, Players Names are in column 1 (Column D) and Baseball Players Shirt Numbers are in column 2 (Column E). The Baseball Players Shirt Numbers are formatted General in both the table and in cell C11. I can't figure out why cell D11 returns a blsnk answer?

Cell Reference Return Blank Or Zero?

Jun 15, 2013

In sheet2 I've many numeric value.

In sheet1, A1: =Sheet2!B12 which returns 0 (zero) though B12 of sheet2 is the result of =sum(B1:B11) i.e 660. But if in sheet1 A1=Sheet2!D12 or any other cell in sheet2 instead of B12, A1 gives correct result. That means cell A1 itself is not a problem. I checked format of B12 which is number format.

Formula To Return Zero If Cell Is Blank?

May 8, 2012

I have a column of imported data like this, with scattered blank cells:

Rd Frnt200634350464300399636350

I am doing a multiple regression where the above are independent variables. I usually have hundreds of variables in a column like this. Because each cell must have a value in it (the regression won't accept blanks), rather than manually fill the blank cells with a 0, I set up an adjacent column to convert the blanks to a 0 and regress off that column. But every formula I try still produces a blank in that adjacent column. I have tried things like: =IF(A1="",0,A1) but they do not work. I always get a blank in the adjacent column when the original cell is blank. Can't get a 0 in there.

Return Blank Cell Instead Of False

=IF(ISBLANK(H16),"",IF(H16="Car","Ca",IF(H16="Boat","Bo")))

Where I would like it to return a Blank cell if H16 is blank. However it always puts False in the cell because there is a Vlookup that is hidden H16. Is there a way I can make it return as a blank cell instead of false.

I have a table in columns A-D. I am trying to perform a vlookup to return the first non-blank in columns B-D based on the lookup value in column A. Columns F-I are what I am looking for the formula to do. I think I am close with the following array formula but not quite there.

If entered correctly, Excel will surround with curly braces {}.

If Cell Is Blank And Data In H Is A Certain Value Then Perform VLookup

Feb 4, 2014

Possible to have two spreadsheets and then perform the following tasks

1. Check If the cell in column I from cell I4 and the spreadsheet varies in length is blank and if it is - see item 2

2. The data equals certain values i.e. CDE or CDE - QUO or CDE - PRO - see item 3

3. Perfom a VLOOKUP to another spreadsheet

If the routine stops at any of the items then move to the next cell

Data is on spreadsheet - Allocations.xls
Vlookup is performed on this spreadsheet - 001 - Allocations - Blocks

The Vlookup for example is: =VLOOKUP(A5,'[001 - Allocations - Blocks.xls]CurrentDayAll'!$1:$65536.9,FALSE)

Search First Non-blank Cell To Return A Value In Another Column?

Jun 9, 2014

Want to look in one column and find the first non-blank numerical value, then have it return a value from another column.

Used to nest multiple IF functions together from different cells, but it seems overly complicated and time consuming. Sometimes I have over 30 cells to check.

For example, if Column A contains weekly sales data by week, entered weekly, and Column E has corresponding comparison data from the previous year. I want to enter a formula to check the first row that has sales data entered and have it match up the comparison value in the other column.
