Vertical search and NULL
Hi Gents,
I am doing a vertical search to return some data from a selected area. Everything works fine unless the value I am looking for is not present and therefore the formula returns #N/D, which ruins everything else I intend to program. What can I do to NOT see a NULL value (#N/D) but something else instead? I could use the IF formulas, but it does not work with "#N/D". Thanks |

Don't know if this is what you're looking for as I've not seen the "#N/D" error message before.
