Default Eliminate #VALUE! in Formula Result

=if(isnumber(find("/",c30)),find("/",c30),"not found")

Change "not found" to whatever you want
--including a simple 0 or an empty string: ""

If the above formula does not find the slash #VALUE! is returned. How do I
eliminate that result and obtain a number?

I am attempting to setup a telephone directory for a condominium
association. I am attempting to obtain TEXT following the slash using the MID
function. Most of the text I am searching does not contain a slash.

If anyone has a template that might assist me in this endeavor, it would be
greatly appreciated.
