Default Skipping bad data in cells

I need the speadsheet to ignore the cells with none numeric entries as the
cells are used in calculations for an SPC chart. columns B C and D extract
data from an external database (PI). I think I may need some sort of macro
to do this?

Help!

Fix the bad cells is the best solution.

Why are they bad?

Can you trap for the errors and return "" instead of errors?

Posr a few examples of bad cells.

How do I get excel to skip over bad cells (containing none numeric errors)
