Steve,

Look at Conditional Formatting with Cell Value ="#REF!"

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)}

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.

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)}

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, .....)

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.
