Multi Formula for Excel to IF Equals copy from another cell value

I have been trying multiple formula to get results for Column D as shown below...(column d is normally empty. I tried matching, if, and lookup formulas and have yet been able to successfully complete the task). Column A contains random ID numbers. Column B contains the "parent id numbers. I need a formula for IF column B is greater than zero look in column A for that number... THEN copy from column c that cell value. I have used this but wont copy c value when going down the list =IF(C3>0,LOOKUP(C3,A2:A20001,D2))

+----------+----------+-----------+----------+
| Column A | Column B | Column C  | Column D |
+----------+----------+-----------+----------+
|      279 |        0 | P12345    |          |
|      281 |      279 | 69856     | P12345   |
|      282 |      279 | 656898    | P12345   |
|      283 |        0 | 6464845   |          |
|      301 |      285 | 12156498  |          |
|      322 |      279 | 6588446   | P12345   |

In D1 enter:

=IFERROR(IF(B1>0,VLOOKUP(B1,$A$1:$C$6,3,FALSE),""),"")

and copy down.
