conditional format cells with formula
I have a summary worksheet that references another with a vlookup table. The
conditional formatting works if a value is entered on the lookup sheet. However, if the cell isn't filled with a number on the summary sheet I get the #N/A. That is what I'm trying to hide this with text color. PLEASE help? |

Maybe something like this in your conditional formatting:
=ISERROR(A2) You also apply this type of statement to your formulas in the cell instead of using conditional formatting. HTH, Paul -- "amos" wrote in message ...

IS ERROR didn't work. Not to be a thick-head but I don't quite understand
what you mean in adding this statement to my formula. Can you give an example please?

You could try adding Condition 2 with a suitable format to mask the #N/A
Assuming B2 is the top left active cell selected within your conditional formatting range, Formula is: =ISNA(B2) Format the font color same as fill color -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "amos" wrote: I have a summary worksheet that references another with a vlookup table.

Why don't you hide it in your formula that returns the error instead?
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP),"",VLOOKUP) replace VLOOKUP with your vlookup formula -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "amos" wrote in message ... This is exactly what I want to do.

If it still doesn't work, could you post your condition 1's formula -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
