Default hide "#VALUE!"

My worksheet is linked to a web query and the value of many cells is
"#VALUE!". The message is "value used in formula is wrong data type". Due to
the nature of the web query, I can live with this without making changes
however I would simply like to "hide" or show a blank cell if the cell shows
this message. I apprectiate suggestions to do this. Thank you.

Try using conditional formatting with a formula of =ISERROR(A1) and a font
colour of white.

Did you select al the cells, change the condition type to Formula Is, and
the formula to the first cell in your selection?
