Default How to Return #N/A from a formula


Hi,

i have some VBA code in the custom-made formula
Getprice(Date;ProductCode) that fetch data from a db and return either
a number or an error (by means of a text explanation) I would like to
return #N/A when there is an error and the value otherwise. The problem
is that if i write:

Getprice = "#N/A"

excel puts in the calling cell mere text and in the sheet #N/A isn't
considered as a real NOT AVAILABLE ... Therefore if I sum that cell
with another containing a number it doesn't show #N/A but simply avoid
considering the cell containing #N/A in the calculation of the sum ...

Thanks in advance for your help

Sorry for my bad english
