I have 2 workbooks i want to pull data from and merge into one main page, I have followed the instructions per this Youtube video, but I am getting a 0 in over 50% of the fields that have a valid value.

Video source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yea2Zvb8Q7s

Here is my formula:

=IFNA(VLOOKUP(A213,ASIN1!$A$2:$E$1387,5,FALSE),VLOOKUP(A213,ASIN2!$A$2:$E$1381,5,FALSE))


It works for some, and doesnt for others, not sure what the pattern is at the moment.

I am using Office 365, not sure if i should use IFNA or IFERROR.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
Hi i8ur4re,

The formula works fine for me as you have it written. The only time I see 0 is if the matching E column value is 0 or it is an empty cell.
