Default how to remove #n/a error in excel vlookup b/c value is not found?

I'm using vlookup in excel to pull select data from a worksheet. The problem
is that the value I'm seeking isn't always in the table array. So, I get a
#n/a error. The #n/a then prevents me from summing the data that I'm
collecting using the vlookup. How do I make the #n/a go away or equal zero
so I can sum the data?

Try one of these:

Returns a blank:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(.....)),"",VLOOKUP(.....))

Returns a 0:

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(.....)),0,VLOOKUP(.....))

Is this still true for Excel 2007? Because I tried the top one, and it still
left 0's in the column.

Try using if(iserror(vlookup(Value,Table,column,0)),"your
response",(vlookup(Value,Table,column,0)))

Hope that helps

When I add two VLOOKUP formulars with the adjust with the below "IF (ISNA)",
and one items of the two is found, Excel is not displaying the item found,
but a Zero. What should I do?

If you're using Excel 2007 try one of these:

=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(.....),"")
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(.....),0)

Note those will trap *all* errors, not just #N/A.

Worked perfect for me. Just checked the help file to get to the discussion
groups.
