Default turn #value into blank cell

My formula is (A5/B5)-1

is there a way to change this so that if A5 and B5 are empty it displays an
empty cell?

The formula works only if there are 2 values; or otherwise return blank. Are
you trying the range A5:B5 itself.

That means your numbers aren't numeric numbers but are TEXT numbers.

Just make note that ISERROR will hide all errors including #N/A which may be
returned from a VLOOKUP
