Array formula with vlookup that is not a number
I have this vlookup that I need to convert into a arrayformula

=VLOOKUP(C2, 'inventory'!$A$2:$I$500, 5, false)

After reading posts I tried:

=ArrayFormula( VLOOKUP( C2:C ; 'inventory'!$A$1:$F$300 ; 5 * SIGN( C2:C ); FALSE ))

But it gives me an error "value not a number".

Any ideas how to work this?

Thank you!
