Default ignoring errors - Thanks this works fine

Hello & thanks, this works fine tho the little box with ! can be difficult
to spot.

Thanks again

On my copy of XL2003, if I select all the cells with a triangle "error"
indicator that I want to clear the error from (your selection can also
include cells without the triangle indicator if necessary), a small box
with an exclamation mark inside a diamond shape appears to the right of
the selection... clicking it produces a drop down list in which "Ignore
Error" is one of the listed items... click that entry and the triangles go
away.

Helllo,

I have a spreadsheet (rather a big one) which shows an error (triangle in
the corner of the cell) in all the cells of a single column. I understand
the (apparent) errors and need to 'ignore' them. I know how to do this
one by one, but there are over 700 cells in the column. Is there a way of
selecting all the affected cells & 'ignoring' the errors in one go ?

I dont want to turn off the error checking because the same error could
turn up elsewhere .

Thanks

KK
