#REF and #N/A mean Excel thinks you have an error in your formula. The
typical way to handle them is to modify your formula to something like:

=if(iserror(yourformula),"",yourformula)

If you have Excel 2007, you can use:
=iferror(yourformula,"")

Regards,
Fred.

A basic approach in Excel 2003 might look like

=IF(ISERROR(YourFormula),"",YourFormula)

There might be better ways, depending on your version and situation.

Not clear what you mean by "dragging a formula" and what you eventually want
to achieve. Delete cells containing errors?

Here is one way:
1) Select the range containing the errors
2) Press F5
3) Push the "Special" Button
4) Select "Formulas" and uncheck all checkboxes except "Errors"
5) Push "OK"
6) Press your Delete Key

Cheers,
Joerg
