Distinguishing 0 formatted as "na" and as 0
With this standard format, a zero will appear as as 0:
#,##0;-#,##0 However, you can set zero to appear as "na" using the following format: #,##0;-#,##0;"na" My question is whether it is possible to test whether the cell is showing a 0 as "na", even though the underlying value is still a 0. For example, I cannot use IF(A10="na",... because the cell A10 actually still contains a 0; it just looks like "na" because of the formatting. |

You'll need VBA to make the distinction.

Why can't you use if(a1=0 because as you correctly save that value displays
as 'na' so if a1=0 evatuates as TRUE then the cell is displaying na Mike "jayray" wrote: With this standard format, a zero will appear as as 0: #,##0;-#,##0 However, you can set zero to appear as "na" using the following format: #,##0;-#,##0;"na" My question is whether it is possible to test whether the cell is showing a 0 as "na", even though the underlying value is still a 0.
