So how can I write this formula to show a blank vs. #N/A

my formula is: =IF(C49>0,LOOKUP(C49,EQUIPMENT!D$4:D$62,EQUIPMENT!C$4:C$62),"")

just don't know what to add to it to be blank until dependable cell is populated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is your formula actually doing what you are intending ?
The "Lookup" function needs the list to be sorted.

Try this:
Excel Formula:
=IF(C49>0,XLOOKUP(C49,EQUIPMENT!$D$5:$D$62,EQUIPMENT!$C$5:$C$62,""),"")

Better to use the IFNA function instead of IFERROR in this case.

Why? The IFNA function only affects #N/A values.
IFERROR is a "catch-all" that will affect all errors. So it could hide/ignore errors others than #N/A that you may want/need to know about!

Lebih baik menggunakan fungsi IFNA daripada IFERROR dalam kasus ini.

Mengapa? Fungsi IFNA hanya mempengaruhi nilai #N/A.
IFERROR adalah "catch-all" yang akan mempengaruhi semua kesalahan. Jadi itu bisa menyembunyikan/mengabaikan kesalahan selain #N/A yang mungkin ingin/perlu Anda ketahui!
Thanks for the correction @Joe4

No problem.

It isn't that your formula is wrong - it will work. It just may have some unintended consequences too, since IFERROR is so broad.
IFNA zeroes in on just that error and nothing else.
