    #N/A Error (VLOOKUP)

    Hello Folks
    When I use VLOOKUP and the (lookup value) is blank it shows #N/A
    How to avoid such error in the formula especially when I use letters not numbers in the (lookup value)

    Many thanks

    Check for a value before allowing the formula to proceed:

    =IF(A1 = "", "", VLOOKUP(A1, Sheet2!A:B, 2, 0))
