Hello from Steved
I would like to know is it possible in VBA to find #REF! in any cell in the worksheet and color the text white as to give the appearence the cell is blank. Thankyou. |

Steve,
Look at Conditional Formatting with Cell Value ="#REF!" -- sb "Steved" wrote in message ... Hello from Steved I would like to know is it possible in VBA to find #REF! in any cell in the worksheet and color the text white as to give the appearence the cell is blank. Thankyou. |

Steve,
The vb approach would be to Go To Special Formulas Errors format the text color to white. Record the macro for future use. Caution: What happens when the cell recalculates to a usable value? How will you know? Or record a macro to apply Conditional Formatting per my previous post. -- sb "Steved" wrote in message ...

Hello from Steved
Thanks for your quick reponse Below is the formula that returns #REF! if there is no Data I tried Conditional Formating but I having no luck {=INDEX(B$1:$C$217,SMALL(IF(B$1:$B$217=$D$17,ROW ($B$1:$B$217)-ROW($B$1)+1,ROW($B$217)+1), $E$20),2)} -----Original Message----- Steve, Look at Conditional Formatting with Cell Value ="#REF!" -- sb "Steved" wrote in message ...

Steve,
Am having trouble following your formula. But I get #NUM as a result whether I enter it as an array or normal formula. Suggest you take it a piece at a time and test it. Put each piece in a cell as a regular formula. The #REF usually means that the reference doesn't exist. Make sure that you follow the standard formats for the formulas. Small() = Small(Array,k) I am having trouble with this part of your formula. -- sb "Steved" wrote in message ...

Hello from Steved
Steve the below formula is based on a complete months data What happens as today is 22nd October The #REF! changes to 38028 as an example. (1st October to 22nd October) but the rest of the month will display #REF! in the cells until a completed month. What I have acheived is to do what you asked and that is Go To Special Formulas Errors format the text to white, but as you point out what happened was when the cell recalculates to a usable value. So my thinking is that when the cell displays #REF! I tried to put in {=INDEX(B$1:$C$217,SMALL(IF (B$1:$B$217=$D$17,ROW ($B$1:$B$217)-ROW($B$1)+1,ROW($B$217) +1), $E$20),2)=IF(ISERROR(#REF!),"","No Error")}hoping this would have made the cell go blank but no go. Have you any thoughts Cheers {=INDEX(B$1:$C$217,SMALL(IF(B$1:$B$217=$D$17,ROW ($B$1:$B$217)-ROW($B$1)+1,ROW($B$217)+1), $E$20),2)} -----Original Message----- Steve, Am having trouble following your formula.

Steve,
The best way would be a simple if formula based on the part of the major formula. So figure out which piece errs than =If(IsError(*minor piece*),"",*major piece*) Also - are you sure you need an array formula? You don't want to use 'IsError(#REF!)' but rather something like =If(IsError(Match(A1,B1:C100,0)),"",Match(A1,B1:C1 00,0)) Also I think you are still missing part of the Small function = Small(Array,k) where k is the level (1, 2, 3, .....) -- sb "Steved" wrote in message ...
