ignoring errors
Helllo,
I have a spreadsheet (rather a big one) which shows an error (triangle in the corner of the cell) in all the cells of a single column. I understand the (apparent) errors and need to 'ignore' them. I know how to do this one by one, but there are over 700 cells in the column. Is there a way of selecting all the affected cells & 'ignoring' the errors in one go ? I dont want to turn off the error checking because the same error could turn up elsewhere . Thanks KK |

ignoring errors
On my copy of XL2003, if I select all the cells with a triangle "error"
indicator that I want to clear the error from (your selection can also include cells without the triangle indicator if necessary), a small box with an exclamation mark inside a diamond shape appears to the right of the selection... clicking it produces a drop down list in which "Ignore Error" is one of the listed items... click that entry and the triangles go away. -- Rick (MVP - Excel) "KRK" wrote in message ...
