Cell returning #N/A. How can I change formula?


Posted by Gerald Marshall on November 13, 2001 12:42 PM

If I enter the number 3.5 or 3.25 in cell A1 I want cell B1 to return .50. If I enter 1 in cell A1 I want cell B1 to return 1.

looking at the answer to a similar query some days ago I have entered the formula =VLOOKUP(A1,{3.75,0.5;3.25,0.5;1,1},2,0).

This works perfectly when a number is entered in A1, however when A1 is left blank Cell B1 returns #N/A. What can I add to the above formula to leave cell B1 blank when no number is entered in A1.

Any help appreciated

You can add this:

=IF(LEN(A1),VLOOKUP(...),"")

=IF(ISNUMBER(A1),VLOOKUP(A1,{3.75,0.5;3.25,0.5;1,1},2,0),"") [NT]

Hi,

You could try a nested IF using a blank value "" ...

=if(a1="","",VLOOKUP(A1,{3.75,0.5;3.25,0.5;1,1},2,0))

Checks out on my system...
