Hi
Is it possible to apply Conditional Formatting to a cell whose formula has returned 'Number Not Available' – ie '#N/A' It is possible for some cells on my spreadsheet to display this and I would like to blank it out visually by changing the text colour to match the background but only when it displays #N/A. I have already tried setting the C Format to ‘Cell is equal to’ ”#N/A” but this has no effect. Any help would be much appreaciated.


Many Thanks
 
Instead of using CF, you could put error checking in your formula to display a blank cell if you get that error.

If you want to use CF, use the formula if iserror...
