Prevent #N/A values

[shikamikamoomoo]

I'm using the VLOOKUP function and would like the cells that are FALSE
to be blank instead of produce the #N/A value. I've read several posts
asking similar questions, but I cannot get it to work....

My formula:

=IF($C$9="","",VLOOKUP($C$9,'sheet5'!$N$1:$Q$8,2,FALSE))

I've seen that people say to put 'ISNA', but I must be putting it in
the wrong place because I can't get it to work. If someone could
please spell it out for me I would greatly appreciate it! As it is
right now I am doing paste special and then search and replace....it's
a real hassle

Thanks for any help you can offer!

=if(or($C$9="",isna(VLOOKUP($C$9,'sheet5'!$N$1:$Q$8,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($C$9,'sheet5'!$N$1:$Q$8,2,FALSE))

Maybe...

=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($C$9,'sheet5'!$N$1:$Q$8,2,FALSE)),"",VLOOKUP($C$9,'sheet5'!$N$1:$Q$8,2,FALSE))
