I have used the VLookup function on an invoice that will print the price and
description of an item when the item number is typed in. I want to removed
the #N/A from the invoice when the lines are blank. I was told to use the IF
function.
My lookup function is =VLOOKUP(A24,Product!A8:D14,2)
If I add the IF function to it-- would it look like
=IF(A24="","")=VLOOKUP(A24,Product!A8:D14,2) ?
Or just where would the IF formula go and did I type it correctly to say if
the cell is empty?
Thanks

=IF(A24="","",VLOOKUP(A24,Product!A8:D14,2))

=IF(ISERR(putyourvlookuphere)=TRUE,"",putyourvlookuphere)
It could look something like I have above. It will check to see if the
result is an error #N/A included I believe, if it is it will put in a blank,
if not it will put the actual result of the vlookup.

ISERR excludes #N/A.
ISERROR handles all of the error types.

Since the ISERR(OR) function returns a boolean, either TRUE or FALSE,
there's no need for an equality comparison:
ISERR(putyourvlookuphere)=TRUE
ISERR(putyourvlookuphere) will do.

just thinking...does each of your invoice spreadsheet needs to be saved each
time you create one with a served invoice number ? If you do, better clean
the non-servable formula....Just try to maintain a template filled with the
formula for your next invoicing....
