Another way would be to hide them using conditional formatting, by choosing
white for your font color when the cell's value equals #N/A.

Assuming that your range of cells begins in A5:

Select your range of cells
Format Conditional Formatting
Change "Cell Value Is" to "Formula Is"
=ISNA(A5)
Choose white as your font color
Click Ok

i have change some formulars along the lines of this:

=LOOKUP(G13,MLS!B$2:B$112,MLS!C$2:C$112)


change to:

=LOOKUP(G13,paynumber,staffnames)


only problem now is i end up with rows and rows of #N/A's until data is
input, anyway to hide these like you can with zero values?

Many thanks,
