Default In MS Excel 2003, need to do conditional formating on HLOOKUP

I need to paint the result of HLOOKUP in red if it returns #N/A or #REF, but
conditional formatting formula is not able to equate #N/A as a string. Anyone
knows how to do this?

reference!

Hi,

you can try this formula in conditional formatting (Format Conditional
formatting)

=OR(ERROR.TYPE($D$11)=4,ERROR.TYPE($D$11)=7)

Use something like this:

=ISERROR(HLOOKUP(....))

as your CF formula.

Hope this helps.
