Default N/A Error

Hi All

Is it possible that when a Formula returns a N/A result, can I change this
to say "Incorrect" r something else of my choice.

cheers

Yes, check for N/A with an If statement, as in:

=if(iserror(your formula),"Incorrect",your formula)

One way:

=IF(ISNA(<your formula),"incorrect",<your formula)

Not the best way - ISERROR() will mask other errors besides N/A. Better
to use ISNA() instead.
