formula

Struggling

i have a spreadsheet that was sent to me to do pricing estimates for jobs based on specific job codes. i have the sheet hidden but there seems to be a problem with the formula. once i type in the job code all the info comes up as needed but when there is no code i just get n/a errors. i would be happy to send the spreadsheet to anyone that can help me because it will be easier to see it rather than explain. Please help me. thanks

Sounds like a VLOOKUP formula that has no match, which would be the case if
there was no job code entered.

Example........

=VLOOKUP(A10, B1:C132,2,FALSE) would return n/a if nothing entered in A10

If this is your case, to hide the n/a you can alter formula to

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A10,B1:C132,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP(A10,B1:C132,2,FALSE))
