Try in cell A1

Hi

OK thanks for that

It's working fine where the formula in Column B has returned a number.

Where the formula is not returning a number (and the cell is therefore blank)
, the formula above gives #Value! errors.

Is there a way around this? Effectively the formula in A needs to show blank
where the equivalent cell in B is blank.


Try this one:

=IF(ISNUMBER(B1),IF(MOD(B1,12)=1,"year "&1+INT(B1/12),""),"")
