Default Want #VALUE! to show as blank cell

Hi,

Using Windows 2000 Pro, Excel 2003.

Im tracking the amount of copies our office uses on a monthly basis. If we
go over 20,000 copies, we have to pay an additional charge for those copies.
Cell B7 has the previous months meter reading. Cell C7 has the current
months reading. The formulas Im using work, except when we do not go over
the 20,000, I end up with #VALUE! in Cell F8. I assume this is because Cell
E8 is not actually blank, but has a formula in it?? If a cell has no value, I
want it to show as empty, but I dont know how to accomplish this for Cell
F8, and E9 & F9/10, which are in cells on rows for months in the future (I
want to set this up for an entire year so all I have to enter each month is
the Current months reading).

I hope this makes sense. What do I need to do in order to get the cells with
#VALUE! to show as blank cells?

The following are examples of the cells and formulas:

B C D E F
Past Current Used Over Pay This
7 20,000 50,000 30,000 10,000 $150.00
8 50,000 65,500 15,500 #VALUE!
9 65,500 #VALUE! #VALUE!
10 #VALUE!

The formula in columns D, E, & F:

B8 =IF(C7="","",SUM(C7))

D =IF(C7="","",SUM(C7-B7))
E =IF(D720000,D7-20000,"")
F =IF(E7<=0,"",E7*0.015)

Thanks.
