Stop The #N/A! Error in VLOOKUP

The single best and most efficient way is to do this is;

1) Add your lookup formula to a spare column (e.g Column "A") and allow the #N/A! to happen.

2) Now reference these cells from the required cells like this;

=IF(ISNA(A1),0,A1)

3) Hide Column "A" by selecting it and going to Format>Column>Hide

The second most efficient is probably like this;

Instead of;

=VLOOKUP("Dog",A1:D100,2,False)

Use;

=IF(COUNTIF(A1:A100,"Dog"),VLOOKUP("Dog",A1:D100,2,FALSE),0)

The least efficient method is like;

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP("Dog",A1:D100,2,FALSE)),0,VLOOKUP("Dog",A1:D100,2,FALSE))

If you don't like the Zeros showing you can hide them via Tools>Options>View - Zero values. Or, cell-by-cell with aCustom Format like:General;-General;
