However, instead of relying on string comparisons, you can also determine
what sort of data type you get back from the Value property, and if it's an
error you can take further action.

1) Check the Value (which is of type Variant) with VarType(...) = vbError,
or simply use IsError()

2) You can then use one of the constants from the XlCVError enumeration to
figure out exactly which error you've got.

Hi Damon,

Try replacing:

If ActiveCell.Value = "#N/A" Then

with

If ActiveCell.Text = "#N/A" Then
