Try the below...

'Inventory List'!O739 is not a valid array. Please edit to suit....

=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A2,'Inventory List'!A1:O739,2,0)),"",
VLOOKUP(A2,'Inventory List'!A1:O739,2,0))

I am not sure I understood your query correctly. If you want to handle #NA
then modify your formula as below...Replace the text with the current vlookup
formula

=IF(ISNA(yourvlookupformula),"",yourvlookupformula )

hi my problem here is that i get this #NA thing anytime i select a product
code more than twice.

data is formatted as tables in the lookup sheet with 757 rows.
my other sheet is just 5 rows but i have used data validation liminting the
entry to the codes. but i have realised that a few minutes a go that the #NA
keep coming up but when i choose a different code it gives me the the product
name.

if choose
lCQ 1
LCQ 2
LCQ 3 this gets me #NA
but as soon as that is changed i get a name
any reason for that please.
