Hi,

I'm using the vlookup function for a spreadsheet and have copied my
formula down the bottom of the page. So now, those cells show #N/A
because I have not yet entered the vendor information into the first
column to populate the other columns. Is there a way to hide those #N/
A's so I don't have to see them?

I tried protecting and hiding those cells, but it didn't work like I
had hoped. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Veronica
