Default #N/A N.A. Error

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet which returns live market prices. From time to
time I receive an error as the price is no available, the error I
receive is #N/A N.A..

I would like to display a warning message to the users that a price is
in error, I would like to check a range of cells for the #N/A N.A.
error, I have over 100 prices.

I hope someone can let me know the best way to do this?

I have tried ISERR and ISNA but it does not work and returns the
result "FALSE".

Thanks in advance,

Brett

It may be an error to you, but it's not to Excel. It's just text to Excel.
Using:

=if(a1="#N/A N.A.","Price Not Available",a1)

should work. Copy down for all your prices.

Thank you for your reply.

Do you know if it is possible to use an IF Statement on a range. For
example if A1:A100 contains "Error" display Error, if no error is
found display "OK".

Thanks,

Brett

One way would be:

=if(countif(a1:a100,"Error")0,"Error","OK")
