How do I replace a "#N/A" formula result with a blank in excel?
As a result of a Vlookup formula a cell gives #N/A. The formula and the data
that it looks up is good. It should give a #N/A. I need the cell instead of displaying #N/A to display nothing (blank) without deleting the formula. |

How do I replace a "#N/A" formula result with a blank in excel?
An alternative to direct error-trapping would be to use conditional
formatting to mask the display, with the active cell formula, eg: = ISNA(A1), then choosing a font color to match the cell's fill color (eg applying a white font color, which blends with the default cell fill of "no colour") -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "yrat" wrote in message ...

Example:
Assuming the VLOOKUPs are say, in A1:A10 To mask the possible returns of #N/As within the VLOOKUP range with conditional formatting .. Select A1:A10 (ensure A1 is the active cell) Click Format Cond Formatting Formula is: =ISNA(A1) Click Format button Font tab Font color white*? OK Click OK at the main dialog *choose a font color which matches the cell's fill color -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
