First of all.................your lookup value cannot be a range of cells so
you must re-write the original formula.

=VLOOKUP(F12,Sheet3!$G$4:$H$51,2,FALSE)

Now to get rid of the #N/A

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(F12,Sheet3!$G$4:$H$51,2,FALSE))," ",VLOOKUP(F12,Sheet3!$G$4:$H$51,2,FALSE))

Copy down as far as you need.

=if(isna(vlookup(a9,datasheet!b3:bu29,3,false)),"n o match",
vlookup(a9,datasheet!b3:bu29,3,false))

I used False as the last (4th) parameter in the =vlookup() function. That means
I want an exact match to A9.)

Default Still looking to be rid of the #N/A on look up table

ps.

If I only needed to look at 3 columns (B) in the datasheet, I'd adjust the
formula:

=if(isna(vlookup(a9,datasheet!b3:d29,3,false)),"no match",
vlookup(a9,datasheet!b3:d29,3,false))
