how to hide #N/A ?

so it would seem my attempt at simplifying a formula has ended up making
it
even worse! thanks for the help guys, but i think it would be easier if i
used the original formula format, unless there's a simpler solution?
Many thanks,

"why does MS make such simple things so god damn complicated"
Actually, I should have brought up this before making a reply...
What does "until data is input" mean -- until something is in G13 or
something is in MLS!B$2:B$112 (paynumber), MLS!C$2:C$112 (staffnames)?
If the former and using LOOKUP is justified, then what I proposed will do
job.
All this depends of course MLS!B$2:C$112 is sorted in ascending order on
column B (and
covers all possible lookup values). If invoking LOOKUP is justified, there
is no need for:
=IF(ISNA(LOOKUP(),"",LOOKUP())

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,
Steve
