blank error
 

Good morning,
I've asked twice prior to today and received no response, if it can't be
done or no one can figure it out, please just let me know so I can stop going
crazy :)

When $N$16:$N$25 in the formula below contains blanks, it returns #NA How
can i modify this formula to ignore blanks?

{=INDEX([NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$A$16:$A$25,
IF(ISERROR(MATCH(-MIN(ABS([NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25)),
[NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25,
0)),MATCH(MIN(ABS([NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25)),
[NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25,
0),MATCH(-MIN(ABS([NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25)),
[NEAST2_1.XLW]Sheet1!$N$16:$N$25, 0)))}

The formula is finding the # closest to 0 (returning negatives first) should
0 not
exist and retunring the corresponding rate in column A.

Entering a number into the blank fields is not an option as I have 20 sheets
with many tables.

Thank you in advance for your help!
