Lookup value instead of a where the item is not found a blank a zero

Im doing lookup between different filess and as part of that I would like to return the value 0 if an item is not found.

 

Example of current formula

Personal FY21 = LOOKUPVALUE('PersonalFY21'[Total Units],'PersonalFY21'[Number],'Taken'[Number])
 
This works fine but if it possible to return a zero where an item is not found.
