Sorry, I don't understand your response? Not sure how to find the message?

My worksheet is linked to a web query and the value of many cells is
"#VALUE!". The message is "value used in formula is wrong data type".
Due
to
the nature of the web query, I can live with this without making
changes
however I would simply like to "hide" or show a blank cell if the cell
shows
this message. I apprectiate suggestions to do this. Thank you.
