The formula below which is located in may places of my worksheet, populates all numbers that it finds from the Table worksheet unless the value in the Table is "0". What would cause that?
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(F2,Table!$A:$AM,26,FALSE),IFERROR(VLOOKUP(H2,Table!$A:$AM,26,FALSE),0))
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
the cell is blank and I expect to see a "0".............note, the cell with a zero in it is not a calculated cell (no formula)...........it is a General field

Maybe you have the display of zeros turned off. Open up Excel Options, select the Advanced item and scroll down till you find the options for "this worksheet"... find the "Show a zero in cells that have zero value" checkbox and put a check in it, then OK back to the sheet. Do the zeros now show up?

the settings are set to display zeros.
Do you have a custom format set for the cell, in particular, this one General;General; perhaps?

Another possibility is that you may have a Conditional Format, one that hides zero, set for the cell.

no custom or conditional formats set
The only other thing I can think of is if you have an event code procedure (either in the sheet's code module or the ThisWorkbook code module) set up for that cell. Failing that, I am out of ideas.

Does this enforce what you want to obtain?

=IFERROR(N(VLOOKUP(F2,Table!$A:$AM,26,FALSE)),IFERROR(N(VLOOKUP(H2,Table!$A:$AM,26,FALSE)),0))

That worked Aladin...........thanks so much !!!!
Not sure what the addition of "N" does though

Spoke too soon...........now all values are 0 in the entire column
